Xavion Davis was 16 when he was fatally shot on January 31, 2019, at the Avesta Apartments in the Baymeadows area of Jacksonville, Florida. Initial reports described the circumstances as unclear; investigators later connected his death to ongoing gang conflicts in the neighborhood and described the shooting as retaliatory rather than an isolated incident.

Police arrested several people in connection with the case, including a 21-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy who were charged with murder. Authorities said eyewitness accounts and forensic analysis contributed to the case and that the suspects were believed to have targeted Xavion as part of a cycle of gang-related violence.

Xavion’s family and friends mourned a young life described as promising, and the community responded with calls to address the pattern of violence affecting local youth. Does anyone have information about Xavion, his activities around Baymeadows, or the Avesta Apartments on or before January 31, 2019?
