[November 19th 5:21pm] Prominent Portland Developer Shot in Mexico
Developer Thorndike "Dike" Dame was shot in the head and seriously wounded while fishing in Mexico over the weekend, WW has learned.
Dame —along with his business partner, Homer Williams— has been heavily involved over the past two decades in high-profile developments in the Pearl District, South Waterfront, and in California and Arizona.
A keen fisherman, the 72-year-old Dame traveled to Lake Huites in the Mexican state of Sinaloa early this month for a 10-day bass fishing trip with another Portland man, Chip Laizure. Laizure says the first seven days of fishing at the lake—which is a four-hour drive from the nearest airport—were uneventful.
Laizure says that all changed at about 3:30 pm on Nov. 14. The two Portlanders and their guide were fishing from a bass boat when Laizure heard an unusual sound and one he'll never forget—a high-caliber bullet ripping through Dame's cheek.
"The first announcement of anything going on was hearing the bullet strike Dike's face," Laizure says.
