FBI Offers $15,000 Reward for Information Over Man Killed at Birthday Party
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering a $15,000 reward for information on the person who killed a man at a birthday party. Geavauntae (Tae) Sherman, 22, was shot and killed at his sister's birthday party at Raymond City Park in Portland, Oregon, on June 20, 2022. Three years later, police are still looking for information that could lead to the arrest of the shooter. The FBI Portland office has been contacted via email outside of working hours for comment. There were dozens of witnesses to the shooting when it occurred, but none have come forward, per Oregon Live reporting. This renewed interest in the case from the FBI and large reward may inspire witnesses to talk to law enforcement. Sherman was at the park to celebrate his younger sister's birthday when he got into an argument with a group of people over playground equipment. Oregon Live reported at the time, citing police, that some children, including his two younger sisters, were having an argument over the swing sets. Then, a few adults from a separate park birthday party went over to the playground and got involved in the fight. Sherman went in to intervene, which is when someone pulled out a gun and shot Sherman three times right next to his 21-year-old sister, Dayshanay Sherman. She told the outlet that her brother's last words were "'Why are we yelling and cussing? We're all adults.'" Dayshanay Sherman described her brother as her "best friend," and "a very protective and goofy older brother." The case has seen renewed interest as part of the FBI's Case of the Week program, where an unsolved case that either occurred around the same time a few years ago or is of major public interest, is highlighted by the bureau. Although the FBI offered the same monetary reward in 2023, nobody came forward then. It is offering $15,000 again two years later in the hopes that witnesses speak up. Dayshanay Sherman told Oregon Live in 2022: "Everything is so quiet without Tae, because he always knew how to keep the conversation going. He was a good person... he was my best friend." Kieran L. Ramsey, special agent in charge of the FBI Portland field office told the press in 2023: "We know there were dozens of witnesses in the park that evening. We need those witnesses to come forward with any details they remember."
