Ackeem Davis, 17, was fatally shot in the chest inside his family’s apartment in the Pelham Parkway Houses in the Bronx on May 19, 2016. He was with a group of friends, including 19-year-old Steafon Lewis, when the group reportedly play fought while handling a .380 caliber revolver they believed was not loaded. Lewis pointed the firearm at Davis and pulled the trigger; a single shot struck Davis. Ackeem’s 13-year-old sister and his brother’s girlfriend were present. Lewis placed the gun on a bed and called 911. Ackeem was taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

The NYPD’s violent felony squad questioned Lewis; he said he did not know the gun was loaded and that the brothers had been pulling the trigger repeatedly, hearing only clicks before the fatal discharge. After an investigation, Lewis was arrested and charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon; bail was set at $250,000 bond or $150,000 cash. Ackeem had been planning to turn 18 and graduate from high school.

Does anyone have information about what happened that day or knew Ackeem and his family?
