Marquita Davis, 27, was shot and killed in the early hours of Mother’s Day, May 8, 2022. The shooting occurred around 5 a.m. in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago; she was struck in the armpit while in the 1500 block of South Sawyer Avenue. Despite driving herself to Mount Sinai Hospital, she lost a significant amount of blood and was pronounced dead.

Davis was a mother of four children, ages 1 to 12, and supported her family selling hair extensions, clothes, and shoes. Family members described her as vibrant, generous, and someone who brightened up a room. She had been out with friends to celebrate Mother’s Day, but the events leading up to the shooting remain unclear.

No arrests have been announced and police have not released information about suspects or a motive. Does anyone who was in Lawndale that morning or who knew Marquita have information that could help the investigation?
