On the evening of October 17, 2016, deputies from the St. Helena Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a home on Higginbotham Road in Greensburg, Louisiana, after reports of a shooting. Officers found 54-year-old Gary Wayne Porter suffering from a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified the suspect as Porter’s 22-year-old son, Gavin Porter, and Gavin was arrested and taken into custody in connection with his father’s death. Court action was initiated but did not reach a normal conclusion: Gavin Porter died on February 25, 2020, at age 26, which ended the criminal case.

Does anyone in the Greensburg area remember the Porter family or have information about events leading up to October 17, 2016?
