Mykain Davis, 16 and a student at Newberry High School, was fatally shot around midnight on Wise Street in Newberry, South Carolina, on Sunday, May 22, 2022. Emergency responders found him with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. Authorities initially had no immediate suspects or clear motive.

Mykain was one of four teenagers from the same circle of friends killed that night; later the same day Jhisere Robinson, 15, Jahquindin Toland, 18, and Sonterrious Davis, 19, were shot on nearby Eleanor Street. The timing and proximity of the shootings suggested a connection, though officials did not immediately confirm whether the incidents were directly linked.

By the end of September 2022, three people — a 22-year-old and two 17-year-olds — had been arrested and charged in connection with Mykain’s murder. What can anyone who knew Mykain or who was in that neighborhood on May 22 tell investigators?
