Davonte M. King was 18 when he was shot in the early morning hours of June 4, 2015, in Old Town Bowie. Around 1:15 a.m., gunfire was reported in the 13000 block of Sixth Street; officers found King in a backyard with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries at about 6:00 a.m., the city’s first homicide of 2015.

Police initially reported three people fleeing the scene. By that evening, investigators identified and arrested Robert Anthony Myers, 22, a Bowie resident described as an acquaintance of King; Myers was charged with first-degree murder. It was reported that authorities believed the shooting grew out of an ongoing dispute between the two men. A separate incident at the scene involved a 22-year-old woman who drove through police tape and hit a cruiser; she was arrested for DUI.
