PORTLAND, Ore -
Family and friends remember a man killed on the streets of downtown Portland this weekend, while police continue to search for his killer.
About a dozen people gathered for a candlelight vigil to remember John Pinkney, who was stabbed to death on Sunday morning.
Portland Police say Pinkney got into a fight with another man near the corner of Northwest 6th and Davis.
They say that man stabbed Pinkney several times and left him for dead.
Pinkney's fiancee was nearby and she tried to rush over to his side.
"It was horrible, they wouldn't let me get to him. I just wanted to hold him and he was just laying there by his self and I wanted to hold him. I wanted to be the last person to hold him," said Shawna Ballard, Pinkney's fiancee.
The family says the fight was over an ex-girlfriend.
They say Pinkney had some troubles in the past but he was starting to go to business school and was turning his life around.
