On the evening of August 21, 2017, in the rural Beavercreek area of Clackamas County, Oregon, a dispute between two men ended in a fatal shooting. Alvin Wallenstein, 45, of Molalla, was found dead outside the home of 47-year-old Howard Dean Bunnell Jr. on South Buckner Creek Road from a gunshot wound to the chest. Deputies arrived after reports of a disturbance around 7:30 p.m.

Court documents say the confrontation began as a heated argument. The homeowner, Howard Bunnell Jr., reportedly retrieved a shotgun and fired at Wallenstein’s vehicle; Wallenstein then drew a handgun and an exchange of gunfire followed, during which Wallenstein was fatally wounded. Bunnell was arrested at the scene and initially faced manslaughter and unlawful use of a weapon charges; a grand jury later dismissed those charges and he was released on bail.

Are there readers who saw or heard anything in the Beavercreek area that night or who knew either man and can share information?
