K’Lea Davis, a 12-year-old from Antioch, California, was shot and killed inside an upstairs bedroom on Oak Haven Way on May 12, 2021. She was remembered by those who knew her as wise, loving, and nurturing; she enjoyed spending time with friends, doing hair, and dancing.

Police quickly identified 19-year-old Michael Fritz Jr., a resident of Oakland, as the primary suspect. Fritz was charged with murder and an additional felony count of illegally possessing a machine gun. Authorities say the weapon used was a handgun modified to be fully automatic and that they believe Fritz acted alone. He was arrested on May 25, 2021, in Oakland after being found hiding in a residence and surrendered peacefully with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service. Court records indicated he faced up to 50 years to life in prison on the murder charge and related gun enhancement.

The motive has not been specified. If anyone knew K’Lea or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
