Detectives from Portland Police Bureau’s (PPB) Homicide Unit are asking for help identifying and locating a man suspected of stealing a backpack and wedding ring from one of the men killed by suspected white supremacist Jeremy Christian during a May 26 double-homicide on a MAX train.

Police say the backpack and wedding ring belonged to Ricky Best, 53. Best served in the U.S. Army for 23 years, and worked for the City of Portland since early 2015.

The backpack also is reported to have contained personal items, which are important to the Best family.

Surveillance footage from the MAX train shows a male subject carrying Best’s backpack in his right hand. The suspect is described as a white male with blond hair in a mullet style, and was wearing a black Jordan brand baseball cap, a black T-shirt with an image of Marilyn Monroe and a United State flag, black shorts and black shoes.

The suspect was also carrying a backpack in his other hand, but police do not know if it is the suspect’s, or owned by another person.

Video footage of the suspect can be viewed here.

PPB asks anyone who knows the identity or whereabouts of the suspect to contact Detective Mitch Hergert at mitch.hergert@portlandoregon.gov.
