Christopher Porter, 38, was shot and killed at his home on Morgan Avenue North in Minneapolis on the afternoon of July 4, 2016. Officers found him lying in his front yard with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center where he died.

A man later identified as 44-year-old Anthony Collins was found wandering in the yard. Neighbors said Collins and Porter had been longtime friends, but Collins reportedly made statements claiming God told him to kill Porter and at one point shaped his hand like a gun and pointed it to his head. A .44-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun was recovered from the grass near the scene. Collins was charged with second-degree murder and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office requested $1 million bail.

Why do neighbors who described a long friendship between the two and Collins’s later denial of knowing Porter not match up, and can anyone who knew Porter or saw activity at Morgan Avenue North on July 4, 2016 add details?
