LaPorscha Stringer, 30, of Nicholasville, was shot after an altercation at Fayette Mall in Lexington on August 23, 2019. According to reports, the dispute began inside the mall and was expected to continue in the parking lot. Stringer left the mall and was stopped in her car at a parking-lot exit when a dark-colored vehicle that had been ahead of her turned around, pulled up beside her, and multiple shots were fired into her vehicle. She was struck in the head, told the friend on the phone to consider her three children, and was taken to the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, where she died a few days later. She had recently graduated from cosmetology school and worked as a hairdresser.

Investigators later developed video showing the mall confrontation and a witness said Stringer mentioned the name Keets while on the phone and described erratic driving in the lot before the shooting. An unnamed witness reported a confession and details about a gun purchase; a local gun store confirmed a 9mm pistol had been bought a few months before the killing. On August 31, 2020, 23-year-old Markeeta Campbell was arrested and charged with Stringer’s murder; bond was initially set at $500,000. In March 2023, Campbell pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter and faced up to 13 years in prison.

Did anyone who knew LaPorscha or was at Fayette Mall that night see the dark-colored vehicle or remember details about the confrontation?
