A verbal altercation outside the Century Apartments on the 2100 block of 21st Street West in Dickinson, North Dakota, on the evening of November 16, 2014, ended in gunfire. David Porter, 37, an African American man who was not a Dickinson resident, was shot multiple times during the dispute and was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he died later that night.

The shooting was reported to police at about 4:24 p.m.; the scene on the south side of the complex was processed for hours with assistance from the North Dakota Highway Patrol and a light tower provided by the Dickinson Fire Department. Authorities searched for a dark-colored Chrysler 300, possibly a 2005–2010 model with out-of-state plates and tinted windows, believed to be linked to the shooting. No arrests or suspects have been publicly announced in connection with Porter’s death.

If anyone saw the vehicle or the confrontation that evening, please come forward with information.
