Loren High, 28, was found dead inside a Milwaukee residence near 24th and Vienna on February 5, 2017, with a fatal gunshot wound to his chest. Investigators recovered two fired .40 caliber cartridge casings in a closet at the scene and lifted a thumbprint from a piece of glass bearing a white powdery residue; that print was identified as belonging to Porsche Humphery. A witness told police Humphery had previously threatened to arrange for people to harm High.

Detectives say Humphery gave conflicting accounts about her whereabouts and her knowledge of High’s death, and inconsistent descriptions of her handling of the victim’s .40 caliber pistol nicknamed Betty. Humphery’s home was searched and officers reported finding a jacket and boots that were wet and smelled of cleaning products. Data from her Gmail account placed her at or near High’s residence on the evening of February 1. High had sent a text that night saying he was having a much needed conversation with his ex to get closure.

Humphery was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless homicide, later pleading guilty to an amended charge of second-degree reckless homicide. On March 23, 2018, a Milwaukee County judge sentenced her to nine years in prison, followed by six years of extended supervision. Did anyone in the area know Loren or observe his movements around late January and early February 2017?
