Police are looking for the suspect who stole the items from Ricky Best after he was killed while trying to stop a white supremacist’s racist vitriol against two women on a train.
Portland police are asking for the public's help in locating the man suspected of stealing Best's wedding ring and backpack from the MAX train after Best was fatally attacked while trying to intervene when a man — identified as 35-year-old Jeremy Christian — shouted hate speech at two young women.
Another man, 23-year-old Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, was also killed in the attack. Christian is facing charges of aggravated murder.
Best, a 53-year-old city employee, Army veteran, and father of four, was heading home to his children in Happy Valley when he was killed.
Police said that the stolen backpack contained "personal items important to the Best family."
Surveillance video showed the suspect — a white male with a blonde hair mullet — leaving the MAX train carrying Best's backpack.
Police said the suspect was wearing a black Jordan Brand baseball cap, a black t-shirt featuring an image of Marilyn Monroe and an American flag, black shorts, and black shoes.
The suspect was seen carrying another backpack in his left hand but police did not know if it was his.
Best served 23 years in the military and was a former candidate for Clackamas County commissioner.
