Harry J. Davis, a 19-year-old African American man and Chicago resident who had attended Andrew Carnegie Elementary School, was fatally shot on May 5, 2017, in a drive-by shooting on the South Side of Chicago. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away; he was taken to a hospital but died shortly after arriving.

Investigators determined Davis was not the intended target and that the shooters were believed to have been aiming for a rival gang member in the area. The Chicago Police Department later arrested several suspects, described as known gang members, on charges including first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and unlawful use of a weapon. Prosecutors presented ballistics and witness testimony during the ensuing legal proceedings.

Harry Davis’s family attended hearings and spoke publicly about the need to address gang violence in their community. If anyone knew Harry, saw activity in that neighborhood on May 5, 2017, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
