On May 3, 2022, 19-year-old Jaden Defee was found dead in Porter, Texas, with an apparent gunshot wound under his left eye. The death was first reported as a suicide, but detectives from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Homicide/Violent Crimes Unit later determined a friend, Frank Holland, was responsible for the shooting.

Frank Holland told investigators Jaden was playing with a gun when it discharged and Jaden shot himself. Detectives concluded Holland had actually shot Jaden and obtained a manslaughter warrant.

The case raises questions about the events leading up to the shooting and the differences between the initial report and the homicide finding. Does anyone have information about Jaden’s last hours or the circumstances at the scene?
