Nathaniel Mateo Acosta was 24 and described by family as a gentle giant. He stood six feet four inches, played guitar and ukulele by ear, enjoyed drawing, writing and philosophy, and planned to attend college to train as an emergency medical technician. He was working odd jobs to pay down loans and hoped to start a family one day.

On the afternoon of April 17, 2020, Nathaniel was shot and killed at the Gold Club, an adult entertainment venue on McLoughlin Boulevard in unincorporated Clackamas County, Oregon. The club was closed for renovations and Nathaniel had been doing construction-type work there. Deputies found him deceased; prosecutors later charged 25-year-old Ryan Ted Newman, Jr. with second-degree murder and with attempting to murder another person at the scene, Wan Chen Vue.

Did anyone who knew Nathaniel or worked at the Gold Club around that time see him the day of the shooting or have information that could help clarify what happened?
