Jayden Parks, 18, was shot and killed on the night of November 27, 2017, in Hampton, Georgia, after meeting a buyer for a pair of Jordan 1 sneakers he’d advertised on Instagram. Parks walked to the entrance of a subdivision less than a mile from his home to meet 23-year-old Cash Davis, who had arrived with his girlfriend. According to Davis’s account, while he was trying on the shoes, Parks produced a handgun and pointed it at Davis’s head, demanding money. Davis, who was armed with a licensed 9mm semi-automatic, fired multiple times; Parks was found with eight gunshot wounds and a loaded, unfired handgun at the scene and was pronounced dead at Piedmont Henry Hospital.

Police located Davis after he called 911; his girlfriend’s statement and ballistic and autopsy evidence were described by authorities as consistent with his claim of self-defense. After review, the Henry County District Attorney decided not to file charges. Parks’s family said he was respectful and ambitious and expressed disbelief that he would have been committing an armed robbery.

Did anyone in the area see the exchange that night or recall Parks’s Instagram listing for the shoes?
