Ian James T. Morris, 18, was found dead from a gunshot wound in the driveway of a house at 6 Oak Woods Road in Hiram in the early morning of November 20, 2021. Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit investigated after a 911 call reporting a shooting; detectives identified and interviewed witnesses and individuals of interest. Neighbors described the residence as a party house that had seen prior police attention. Authorities said they did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the public but provided few details about how the shooting occurred.

Unconfirmed radio chatter mentioned a suspect in custody and a recovered firearm, but no official arrests had been announced and the case remained under investigation. Morris, a recent Portland High School graduate, was remembered for his entrepreneurial spirit and interests in BMX biking and camping. Does anyone have information about that night in Hiram or about Ian’s activities leading up to November 20, 2021?
