Brian M. Valan, 29, was found dead of a gunshot wound on November 27, 2018, in his home on the 1200 block of Ferry Street in Easton’s West Ward. He had moved to Easton in 2017 after being raised in Middletown, New Jersey, and worked as a Lead Facility Technician at Celgene in Summit, NJ. The coroner and Easton Police investigated alongside gunshot residue testing and a search of the residence, where several guns were recovered.

Aiden M. Oswald, 24, was also found dead from gunshot wounds in the same home. Investigators said the evidence did not point to anyone other than Valan or Oswald having pulled the trigger; no suspects were identified and the manner of death remained pending as the investigation continued. Family and friends remember Valan as a talented artist and illustrator who played varsity ice hockey at Middletown High School South.

Are there details about Brian’s last known movements, acquaintances, or the weapons recovered that anyone can share?
