Adrian Allan Murfitt, 35, a commercial fisherman from Anchorage, Alaska, was killed on October 1, 2017 at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. He was struck by a bullet to the neck while taking a picture with a friend, Brian MacKinnon, who said he held Murfitt as he died. Murfitt’s friends and family remembered him as kind, happy, and always helpful; attending the festival was a favorite each year after summers spent fishing in Alaska.

The shooting was carried out by 64-year-old Stephen C. Paddock, who fired into the crowd from a 32nd-floor room at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The attack killed 59 people and injured more than 700 others; Paddock died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reported no evidence of anyone else assisting Paddock and said his motive remained unclear.

If anyone who knew Adrian or was at the festival that night has information or memories to share, please contribute.
