and discovered the grim scene.
Porter was immediately transported to Atrium Health Navicent, where he was pronounced dead by the medical staff.

The case officially remains unsolved, leaving a void in the community and a family desperate for answers.
In the wake of his death, Porter's mother, Jessica Jackson, shared that investigators believe her son was not the intended target of the violence. She conveyed their belief that he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, caught in a situation that may have stemmed from a dispute on social media and could possibly be gang-related. The family held a graveside celebration for CaDarrius on March 4, 2023, at Cherry Blossoms Memorial Gardens Cemetery. The investigation into the death of CaDarrius Terrell Porter is ongoing, and authorities continue to urge anyone with information to come forward.
