Triston Louis Coulter was 19 when he was fatally shot in the early hours of August 1, 2026. The shooting occurred shortly after midnight in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Jacamar Court in Portage during a large party where many people had gathered. Another man, 33, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

First responders located the older victim at the scene. Triston arrived at a local hospital about ten minutes after the first reports, brought in a private vehicle, and later died of his wounds. The Portage Department of Public Safety identified Coulter as the deceased and opened an investigation. No publicly announced arrests or charges have been reported and officials have not released a motive or identified suspects.

Anyone who was at the party or who has information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
