Davonte Williams, 20, of Crestview, Florida, was shot multiple times outside a home at 317 Northwest Racetrack Road in Fort Walton Beach on May 3, 2017. He was taken to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center and died of his injuries on May 13, 2017.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office upgraded the incident to a murder investigation and followed multiple leads. Investigators concluded that Williams had been shot eight times by 26-year-old Justin Bradley McDougald of Fort Walton Beach; McDougald was arrested in October 2017 and charged with first-degree murder. A jury later found McDougald guilty of first-degree murder and he was sentenced to life in prison in December 2021. The motive for the shooting has not been disclosed.

Does anyone have additional information about Davonte’s life in Crestview or the events around early May 2017 that could shed light on what happened?
