""This vigil is about remembering Keith as a human being, not a headline or a hashtag and standing with his family as they demand truth and accountability," said a Black Lives Matter Los Angeles organizer in a statement."
""This is the type of friend a lot of us wish we had," Bryon Taylor wrote on Facebook, who described Porter as a funny, cool and down-to-earth person who loved life."
""I genuinely & whole heartedly loved this man. Pooter was an amazing friend to me. Whenever and for whatever I needed, he was there. This really really breaks my heart ... Praying for his mother, children, and his entire family," Mimi Love wrote on Facebook."
Black Lives Matter Los Angeles identified the man shot dead on New Year's Eve in a Northridge apartment complex as Keith "Pooter" Porter and is organizing a community vigil at the Village Pointe complex where the fatal shooting occurred. Authorities say an off-duty U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent responded to an active shooter situation. Other accounts indicate Porter may have been firing a gun into the air. Porter's family and friends expressed grief on social media, sharing memories and calling for truth, transparency, and accountability. The community is seeking clear answers about the circumstances of the shooting.
