Keith Porter Jr.

Age :43

Gender :Male

Race : Black

Date : 12/31/2025

Location : Village Pointe Apartments

City : Los Angeles

County : Los Angeles

State : California

Agency : U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

Officer(s) : Identity Withheld

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by off-duty federal ICE agent during New Year's event

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 12/31/2025, shortly before midnight, Keith Porter Jr., a 43-year-old man, was shot and killed in the courtyard of the Village Pointe apartment complex in the Northridge area of Los Angeles by an off-duty U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who lived at the complex. Authorities alleged that Porter had fired a rifle into the air as part of New Year’s Eve activity and further alleged that he later pointed the rifle toward the off-duty agent. These allegations are based solely on the agent’s account.
Authorities have not released independent evidence corroborating those claims. There has been no public description of the alleged rifle, no confirmation of the type of firearm or caliber, no explanation of where the weapon was allegedly recovered, no photographs of the weapon released, no fingerprint or forensic disclosures, no eyewitness accounts confirming the allegations, and no body-worn camera or bystander video documenting the encounter. Porter was not accused of firing at any person, and no injuries to anyone other than Porter were reported.
Federal officials have not disclosed the type of weapon used by the agent or the number of shots fired by the agent. Because the agent was off duty, not in uniform, not wearing a body camera, and not acting as part of a coordinated law enforcement response, investigators are reliant on the agent’s statements. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division assumed the investigation due to the involvement of an off-duty federal agent and the fatal outcome, with a parallel federal review.
ICE has not released the name of the agent involved, has not provided a detailed timeline of events, has not held a press conference, has not released evidence related to the shooting, and has not offered an explanation for the escalation to lethal force beyond limited acknowledgments that the incident is under investigation.
Porter’s family and community members have publicly disputed the official account, stating there is no community confirmation that Porter fired at anyone, threatened anyone, or posed an imminent threat to a specific person. Vigils and protests were held in the days following the shooting as community members demanded transparency, the release of the agent’s identity, and independent oversight. The killing occurred amid heightened scrutiny of ICE activity and followed another ICE-linked killing in the community within the same week, intensifying public distrust of ICE.
