On May 26, 2019, 25-year-old Ishmael Hykiesh Porter was shot several times on Sherman Street in Elkhart, Indiana, after an argument escalated. Witnesses reported a woman pointed a handgun at Porter, fired, and then shot him repeatedly after he collapsed. Porter was taken to a hospital in South Bend, where he later died; an autopsy found he had been struck by eight bullets.

Investigators identified Iman Cashmere Lula Gregory as a suspect and obtained a murder warrant. Gregory was located in Atlanta, Georgia, and returned to Indiana in late September 2019. She went to trial in October 2021; prosecutors relied on witness accounts, while the defense argued self-defense, with Gregory testifying that Porter had grabbed a gun from his girlfriend before she fired. The jury convicted her of murder, and sentencing was scheduled for the following month.

Does anyone have information about Porter’s last hours on Sherman Street or about witnesses who were at the scene?
