DeAndre "Porky" Fortson, 39, was a chef and a father. Around 6:21 p.m. on April 1, 2023, someone fired a handgun through the side door of a home in the 20150 block of Hartwell Street in Detroit. The bullet hit DeAndre in the chest, and he was found six days later, just inside the door, when police came for a disturbance call.

Two weeks after that, police arrested 19-year-old Aaron McClinton for a separate shooting in Greektown and connected him to DeAndre's death. He was charged with first-degree murder in April. In June 2023, those charges were dismissed, and the case was reopened.

So the question is open again: who fired through that door? A man lying unfound for six days also raises a second question: who was expecting to hear from him and didn't?
