On the morning of December 3, 2023, a disturbance call brought police to the Charles Point Apartments on Highgate Street in Medford. Officers found 26-year-old Christian Jonathan Torres of White City and 33-year-old Dontrell Xavier Manninen of Medford with gunshot wounds in the complex parking lot. Torres died at the scene; Manninen was transported to a hospital and died hours later.

Investigators described the case as extremely fluid at first. Detectives later developed a timeline that began with a party in one of the apartments. According to the forensic review, multiple masked men with firearms entered the residence; Torres is reported to have confronted Manninen in the kitchen and a struggle followed. Manninen drew a firearm and both men were fatally shot. Two 17-year-old males from Grants Pass were arrested on second-degree murder and conspiracy charges but were later cleared after a weeklong trial; one juvenile admitted firing a weapon during the incident and said it was meant to break up the fight.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the party or events inside the apartment that morning?
