In the early hours of a mid-June morning in 2015, the life of 37-year-old Larry McGee was violently cut short in St. Louis, Missouri. He and another man, Willie Porter, who was 33 years old, were discovered in the 8700 block of North Broadway, both having sustained multiple gunshot wounds in what authorities would classify as a double homicide.
When police officers arrived at the scene, they found that McGee had already succumbed to his injuries, having been shot in his chest and back. Porter was still alive, suffering from gunshot wounds to his face and shoulder. He was quickly transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention, but tragically, he too would die from his injuries.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department began its investigation into the deaths of the two men. However, information was scarce, and authorities did not release any details regarding potential suspects or a motive for the shooting. News reports from the time of the incident indicated that no further information was available.
Years have passed since the violent deaths of Larry McGee and Willie Porter, and despite the initial investigation, their case remains one of the many unsolved homicides in the city of St. Louis. Publicly available information has not indicated that any arrests have been made, nor have any suspects been officially named in connection with the crime. The circumstances surrounding their deaths, and the person or persons responsible, remain a painful mystery for their families and the community.
