A domestic dispute in Newberry, South Carolina, ended in tragedy when seven-year-old Iven Penny Caldwell was shot in April 2019. Iven, a student at Gallman Elementary School, was in a car with his mother and two other children as the mother tried to drive away during an escalating argument at a Cherry Lane residence. The shooter, 26-year-old X’Zavier Sharif Davis, had returned to the home that night, found himself initially locked out, then gained entry and became involved in the confrontation.

As the mother attempted to leave, Davis fired into the vehicle, wounding her in the leg and striking Iven. The mother drove to Newberry County Memorial Hospital and discovered Iven had been shot; he was later transferred to a Columbia hospital and died two days after the shooting. Deputies located Davis at the Cherry Lane home later that night; after a brief standoff they took him into custody and charged him in connection with the attack.

If anyone in Newberry that April remembers seeing or hearing something related to that night, information could still matter to the family and the ongoing record of the case.
