EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 A murder charge filed against an East El Paso man in connection with a deadly shooting at an apartment complex has been dismissed after a grand jury declined to indict him.<\/p>\n

Court records show that the case against 21-year-old Jaeveyin Antonio Porter was dismissed on Jan. 22. <\/p>\n

Porter was arrested in November 2025 following a deadly shooting at the La Estancia apartment complex in the 7900 block of Viscount Boulevard. <\/p>\n

El Paso police alleged that Porter fatally shot 36-year-old Miguel Garcia during a dispute that investigators said stemmed from an ongoing family conflict. <\/p>\n

Police had charged Porter with murder after the Nov. 2 shooting.<\/p>\n

According to investigators at the time, the incident occurred after an argument involving Porter, his wife and Garcia, who was identified as the woman’s uncle. <\/p>\n

Authorities said Garcia had gone to the apartment complex to help intervene in the dispute before the confrontation turned deadly.<\/p>\n

Porter was taken into custody shortly after the shooting and booked on the murder charge. <\/p>\n

With the grand jury declining to indict Porter, prosecutors are unable to pursue the murder charge based on the evidence presented in the case. <\/p>\n

The dismissal closes the criminal case unless new evidence emerges and the matter is presented to a future grand jury.<\/p>\n
