A late-summer shooting in Denver ended the life of 33-year-old Dwayne Earl Jeremy Banks, Sr. On the evening of Tuesday, September 1, 2015, Banks was found deceased outside a residence on the 2600 block of Grape Street with apparent gunshot wounds. The death was initially investigated and was taken up as a priority by the Denver Police Department.

Banks, born June 1, 1982, in Denver, was a father to a son and a daughter and ran his own cleaning business, Spic and Span Cleaners. Family remembered him as a fun-loving, hard-working man who concentrated on his children, nieces, dogs, and business despite negative influences around him.

Investigators quickly identified 24-year-old Charles Porter III as a suspect and obtained an arrest warrant for first-degree murder. Porter was taken into custody on Friday, September 4, near West Colfax and Kalamath. If anyone has information about Banks, his movements that night, or the events leading up to his death, please share what you know.
