Justin Garrett Huser was 35 and the father of two sons. He was a partner of 12 years and remembered by family as a devoted father. A GoFundMe was set up after his death to support the surviving family.

On the night of March 8, 2025, Eugene Police responded to reports of gunfire about 11:30 p.m. at a residence in the 3100 block of West 18th Avenue. Officers found Huser at the scene; he had been shot and was deceased. Investigation focused on Kenneth John Alvord, 36, who lived at the home and knew Huser. According to a search warrant affidavit, the men had an altercation during which Huser allegedly struck Alvord; when Huser refused to leave, Alvord shot him and then called 911.

Alvord was arrested at the scene and initially booked on an unlawful use of a weapon charge, later released on conditions. The case moved forward with a secret grand jury indictment returned in October 2025 charging second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and unlawful use of a weapon; Alvord pleaded not guilty. The July 2026 trial ended when a Lane County judge declared a mistrial on July 10, 2026. Does anyone have information about Huser, the residence on West 18th Avenue, or the events that night?
