A welfare check on March 17, 2021, brought North Little Rock officers to a home on Chandler Street where they found 55-year-old Darryl Porter dead. An autopsy at the Arkansas State Crime Lab, completed March 19, determined Porter died of a gunshot wound and ruled the death a homicide.

The North Little Rock Police Department’s Investigations Unit opened a criminal inquiry, interviewing witnesses and appealing to the public. A reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Porter is survived by his wife, Verlene Boone; his daughter, Brianna Boone; and siblings William Porter II, Jeremy Richards, Danielle Porter-Johnson, and Latrice Porter.

Does anyone who lived near Chandler Street in March 2021 or who knew Darryl have information that could help investigators?
