Gresham, OR.— The Gresham Police Department is asking for help from the public to solve the 2017 murder of Eddie Wallace Sr.
On January 20, 2017, Gresham Police Officers responded to a burglary alarm at a residence in the 100 block of SE 176th Ave. Inside, they found Eddie Wallace Sr. deceased from a gunshot wound. His teenage son was also inside the residence, physically unharmed.
Detectives with the East Multnomah County Major Crimes Team led the homicide investigation. They learned multiple gunmen forced their way into Wallace’s home. Detectives interviewed witnesses, reviewed surveillance video, and executed multiple search warrants to seize evidence. Despite these efforts, no arrests have been made.
“We will never stop seeking justice for Mr. Wallace and his family,” said Detective Adam Wright. “I believe someone in the community has information that would allow us to hold Eddie’s killers accountable. We are asking for them to come forward now.”
