Javon Wilson was 15 when he was shot and killed at his Chicago home on November 18, 2016. The fatal confrontation began after an argument over a pair of basketball shoes. Two teenagers, a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, forced their way into the house; the boy shot Javon in the head, and he died at the scene.

The two suspects were known to Javon and his family. Reports say the dispute started when a 15-year-old boy traded slacks for shoes with Javon’s 14-year-old brother and later wanted the shoes back. Accompanied by the 17-year-old girl, the 16-year-old went to retrieve them; the situation escalated to the deadly shooting. Javon was the grandson of U.S. Representative Danny Davis.

The events drew attention to gun violence in Chicago and to the involvement of teenagers in fatal confrontations. Does anyone have information about Javon, the household, or the people involved that could add context to what happened that night?
