Porche Ledae Charles, 28, was shot and killed on May 3, 2015 after stepping onto the front porch of a home in the 2400 block of West 62nd Street in Hyde Park, Los Angeles. She had been at a family gathering the evening before to celebrate her aunt’s 70th birthday; guests were watching the Mayweather–Pacquiao boxing match and enjoying a barbecue when, at about 11:30 p.m., a man approached from the sidewalk and opened fire. Charles was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after midnight.

The LAPD says detectives have struggled to determine whether the shooting was random or motivated, noting Charles was not involved in gang activity. Despite the house being full of people, few witnesses have come forward; investigators have been reviewing phone records and surveillance footage and continue to seek tips. The family has held vigils and fundraisers to cover funeral costs, and has worked with police seeking answers.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Criminal Gang Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
