Adrian ’AJ’ Villarreal, 36, of Hendersonville, North Carolina, was shot and killed in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in the early morning hours of August 25, 2023.

The incident has been classified as a homicide.

Villarreal was described as a devoted father, son and brother who enjoyed weightlifting, the outdoors, sports and his Christian faith. Two people from Myrtle Beach were arrested in connection with the shooting. Jonathan Verbos, 29, was charged with murder, unlawful carry of a pistol, unlawful neglect of a child and possession of a controlled substance.
