Maurice Porter, 39, was fatally shot in the back of the head on July 22, 2021, in the yard of an abandoned property on South Central Avenue in Franklinton, Columbus. Officers arriving around 7:45 p.m. found Porter with an apparent gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Columbus police investigated and later arrested 22-year-old Teona Brooks of Columbus, who was charged with aggravated murder and two counts of murder. Authorities say Brooks shot Porter after she reportedly saw him point a gun at friends she was walking with; Brooks fled Ohio and was arrested in Chicago in November 2021. In October 2023 Brooks pleaded guilty to one count of murder and received a life sentence with parole possible after at least 15 years.
