William Davis was 25 when he was killed on October 19, 2015, in Long Beach, California. He was found with gunshot wounds in the central area of Long Beach on the street and was pronounced dead at the scene. The manner of the attack was described as appearing targeted.

The Long Beach Police Department opened a homicide investigation but struggled to develop enough leads to identify suspects. The neighborhood had experienced a number of violent incidents around that period, and Davis’s death was one of several homicides in Long Beach in 2015 that underlined challenges for community safety and crime prevention. The investigation remains open and police continue to ask residents to come forward, offering anonymity to anyone with information that could lead to an arrest.

If anyone knew William, saw activity in central Long Beach on October 19, 2015, or has information that could help, please contact the Long Beach Police Department.
