2 years ago, a man kidnapped a Teenage Lesbian couple in Portland, TX, sexually assaulted them both, tied them up nude in violette park and shot them both in the head, leaving them to die. One sadly passed away, and the other was critically injured.

David Strickland, who was responsible for this murder has been arrested and Is now in the San Patricio County Jail at no bail on Capitol Murder charges. His wife has also been arrested for Tampering with Evidence.

David Strickland has been previously Arrested in Utah for Aggrivated Assault and Burglary on January 2014.

The Portland TX community has left memorials for them both and now feel at rest now that this monster is behind bars with the full charges pressed by the State of Texas.


Growing up in Portland, Texas, This was a heartbreaking and emotionally alienating story to hear when the news reported this 2 years ago. They both attended the very highschool I graduated from. Makes me feel like I was closer to facing an attacker like that than I previously anticipated, as I had my first boyfriend while I was 17 years old. Hearing that the suspect involved has been caught while also facing heavy charges makes me feel relieved and that justice is on the right track to be served.
