Devonte Lanard Davis, 28, was shot and killed on July 4, 2020, while setting off fireworks with his daughter and other neighborhood children. The shooting happened about 9:30 p.m. on 17th Street, three blocks south of the family home in West Palm Beach. Devonte, who used a wheelchair after being paralyzed from the waist down in a 2008 shooting, was pronounced dead at the scene. His 11-year-old daughter, Euterria, witnessed the shooting.

The West Palm Beach Police described the incident as a targeted attack but have not confirmed whether Devonte was the intended victim. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. His mother, Tashia Davis, said his determination after the earlier injury and his devotion to his daughter defined his life; the family is left grieving and Euterria faces the trauma of witnessing her father’s death.

Does anyone who was in that neighborhood on the night of July 4, 2020, or who has information about activity on 17th Street around 9:30 p.m. have details that could help investigators?
