Em 31 de dezembro de 2025, Keith Porter Jr. estava do lado de fora do seu apartamento em Northridge, Califórnia, onde, segundo relatos, estava a disparar uma espingarda para o ar para celebrar o ano novo. Um agente da Imigração e Alfândega (ICE) fora de serviço decidiu tratar Porter como uma ameaça de «atirador ativo». Em vez de chamar a polícia, que é treinada para lidar com esse tipo de situação, o agente fora de serviço, aparentemente encorajado pela sua impunidade e pelas proteções federais, decidiu confrontar Porter Jr. Tiros foram disparados, e o agente do ICE alegou que foi forçado a se defender e atirou em Porter Jr., que mais tarde alegou ter se recusado a desarmar-se.
On Dec. 31, 2025, Keith Porter Jr. was outside his Northridge, California, apartment, where he was reportedly firing a rifle in the air to celebrate the new year. An off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer decided to treat Porter as an “active shooter” threat. Instead of calling the actual police, who are trained to handle this type of interaction, the off-duty agent, seemingly emboldened by his impunity and federal protections, decided to confront Porter Jr. Shots rang out, and the ICE officer claimed that he was forced to defend himself, and shot Porter Jr., who he later claimed refused to disarm himself.
Keith Porter Jr., 43, a father of two, went from celebrating the end of a difficult 2025 to never making it to see 2026. In typical DHS and ICE fashion, the agent’s name had not been released, and the Los Angeles Police Department had not even interviewed him about the incident. Multiple agencies are allegedly investigating the shooting, and the Porter family is left with the tragic death of a beloved son and father, all because a deputized authority of whiteness decided to confront a Black man when it wasn’t his job or his duty to do so.
