$30K Reward Offered In Homicide Case

Cody Oller's father has reportedly pledged a $30,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of his son's murderer(s).

PORTLAND, OR — The father of a man murdered in Portland in January has put up a $30,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for his son's death. But to be eligible for the reward, Portland police said a tipster will need to directly contact the primary investigator working the case.

Cody Bennett Oller was found shot to death Jan. 8 in Concordia's Fernhill Park, 6010 N.E. 37th Ave. No suspects have been identified since the investigation began, and police have not indicated they have any specific motive for why anyone would want Oller dead.

Originally from Kansas, Oller had no criminal history in Oregon, and his apparent public social media presence offered little information.
