Keith T. Porter, 42, was found fatally shot inside his St. Louis home in the 2700 block of James Cool Papa Bell Avenue on the evening of June 2, 2012. A friend discovered him unresponsive; authorities determined he had been shot in the chest sometime between 8:30 p.m. and midnight. Emergency services responded but Porter was already deceased. The St. Louis Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but investigators initially were unable to identify any immediate suspects.

The case has remained open with no arrests made and investigators report a lack of substantial leads and witnesses. Porter's death was recorded as the city’s 39th homicide of that year. Anyone who knew Porter or who has information about that night is asked to come forward.
