On a cold February afternoon in 2020, a triple shooting in the Cherry Hill neighborhood of Baltimore left two men dead and a third wounded. Davon Stewart, 41, was found in the 800 block of Roundview Road with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. The shooting occurred near an elementary and middle school and also killed 28-year-old Detrell Garvin; another person was hospitalized with injuries.

Police later arrested 29-year-old Marquis Dixon and charged him in connection with Stewart’s death, including first-degree murder, use of a firearm during a violent crime, and possession of a firearm by a person with a prior felony conviction. At trial, prosecutors introduced a video reportedly showing Stewart firing at someone before he was shot; the defense noted that Dixon had been shot five times in the back. The jury acquitted Dixon of first- and second-degree murder but convicted him of manslaughter and two counts of possession of a firearm with a felony conviction. In August 2022 a judge sentenced Dixon to a total of 45 years, composed of consecutive terms for manslaughter, firearm use during a violent crime, and firearm possession with a felony conviction.

Does anyone have additional information about Stewart’s life in Cherry Hill or about witnesses to the February 2020 shooting?
