Richard E. Porter, 27, was fatally shot in Chicago on November 2, 2016. His death came during an especially violent year for the city, when Chicago recorded over 750 homicides and firearms accounted for roughly 90 percent of those killings. The 2016 spike in homicides affected many neighborhoods and drew attention to public safety and policing strategies as the city sought to address rising violence.

Police data from that year show a relatively low number of suspects charged in homicide cases and a struggling clearance rate, leaving many families without answers. If anyone knew Richard Porter, where he spent his time, or has information about the November 2 shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
