Adrian Jashawn Porter was 21 when he was shot and killed during a New Year’s Eve party at the Palladium Event Center in Huntsville in the early hours of January 1, 2018. Reports describe multiple shooters and say three other people were injured in the same incident; officers responded to a chaotic scene and the suspects fled before they could be detained. Adrian was the city’s first homicide victim of the new year.

Born October 9, 1996, Porter graduated from Austin High School, where he ran track and played football. He worked at Walmart Neighborhood Market and Sonic Drive-In and was remembered by family and friends as generous, sweet-spirited, and always smiling. Despite an initial investigation and public appeals for information, no arrests have been publicly announced and the case has grown cold.

Does anyone who attended the Palladium Event Center that night or who heard about the shooting have information that could help bring answers to Adrian’s family?
