Sixteen-year-old Kendrick Davis, a Black teenager, was shot and killed on the night of October 30, 2018, while walking near the intersection of Warpath Road and Manson Road in Macon, Georgia. A dark-colored vehicle drove by and multiple gunshots were fired; Davis was struck several times and was pronounced dead at a local hospital just after midnight. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators concluded the shooting was not random and believed it stemmed from an argument over a girl, which focused the probe on a group of local teenagers and young men. Arrests began the next day: 18-year-old Jamon Jackson and his 16-year-old cousin, Troy Jackson, were taken into custody on October 31, 2018. Demarkis Hammonds, 19, was arrested November 5; 16-year-old Eric Bowden was arrested November 9; and 19-year-old Cortavius Ates was arrested November 20, 2018. A Bibb County grand jury indicted all five on one count of felony murder in January 2019.

Two of the accused were later killed before trial. The legal outcomes for Troy Jackson, Demarkis Hammonds, and Eric Bowden in Kendrick Davis’s death are not publicly documented. Does anyone have information about Kendrick’s life, the night of the shooting, or the case’s subsequent proceedings?
