Andrew Laporte, a 19-year-old from Kettering, Ohio, was killed in a shooting inside a home near the 2800 block of Shroyer Road on May 30, 2026. First emergency calls arrived about 8:46 p.m.; an initial 911 report said someone had been playing with a gun and shot themselves, and responders at first treated it as a possible suicide. After further investigation over the weekend, police reclassified the case as a homicide.

The Montgomery County Coroner identified Laporte and said he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said several people were at the home and that those involved knew each other; police described no ongoing public safety threat. No arrests, suspects, or charges had been announced, and detectives were interviewing people connected to the scene and seeking possible video footage.

His obituary notes he was born June 15, 2006, and mourned for an adventurous spirit and kindness. Who was at the house that night and who fired the gun remains unanswered — did anyone in the area see or record something that could help?
