It is with profound sadness that family, friends, and the entire Myrtle Point community mourn the tragic loss of 25‑year‑old Bryce Randall, whose life was cut short in a fatal shooting in Coquille, Oregon in the early morning hours of February 2, 2026.
According to local authorities, deputies from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance call at a home near Highway 42 just after reports of gunfire were received. Upon arrival, first responders found Randall suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite immediate efforts by emergency personnel to save him, he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The incident has left Randall’s loved ones devastated and the wider community in shock. Known by those closest to him for his vibrant energy and kindness, Bryce’s sudden passing has sparked an outpouring of grief from neighbors and friends in the Myrtle Point area, many of whom knew him personally or crossed paths with him throughout his life.
In the aftermath of the shooting, 31‑year‑old George Washie Jones of Coquille was arrested and charged with second‑degree murder in connection with the killing. Law enforcement officials say a conflict between the two individuals led to the shots being fired, though details about the nature of the dispute have not been fully released.
As the investigation continues and the community seeks answers, many are remembering Bryce not for how he died, but for the life he lived and the impact he had on those around him. Plans for memorials and tributes are expected as friends and family come together to honor his memory and support one another through this unimaginable loss.
