Who could shoot at a random car with a couple and 2 kids in the back? What was the motive? I just don\\\\'t understand why this happened.

On the evening of Sunday, February 20, 2022, 25-year-old Adau Galuak Duop was fatally shot while riding in a family vehicle near Southeast 128th Avenue and Southeast Foster Road in Portland, Oregon. She was in the passenger seat; her fiancé was driving and their two young sons, ages one and five, were in the back. Another car pulled alongside and an occupant opened fire. Adau died at the scene; an autopsy confirmed a fatal gunshot wound and the death was ruled a homicide.

The fiancé suffered a serious gunshot wound but was expected to survive. The one-year-old was shot in the arm and the five-year-old was hit in the leg; both children were hospitalized and later released. Investigators from the Portland Police Bureau and the FBI continue to work the case, and authorities have said the shooting appears to have been random. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. The FBI is offering up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Adau was a South Sudanese refugee, a mother who worked two jobs as an in-home caregiver while attending Mt. Hood Community College with plans to become a nurse. If anyone has information about that night or recognizes the vehicles or persons involved, please come forward to investigators.
