Adam Michael Krater, 22, of Oroville, California, was fatally shot in the head on March 4, 2018. He was with friends during the early morning while they were driving around and partying when a handgun was mishandled inside the vehicle and discharged, killing him.

Authorities say 25-year-old friend Noah Gonzales had been firing the handgun at multiple locations that night, including near the Randy Jennings Memorial Bridge over the Feather River and on Myers Street. Portions of the night were reportedly recorded and shared on social media and were used in the investigation. Gonzales delivered Krater to Oroville Hospital and left before police arrived; officers later found Gonzales in possession of the handgun believed to be the weapon used.

Gonzales was charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and Judge Robert Glusman found sufficient evidence to hold him for trial. The prosecution alleges the shooting was accidental while Gonzales handled the firearm; Gonzales pleaded not guilty. If anyone knew Adam or has information about that night, please share what can help the case.
