In the summer of 2017, 18-year-old Israel Davis was shot and killed in Harvey, Louisiana. On July 24, Davis had an exchange with another individual, then got into a vehicle. As the car began to drive away it was struck by gunfire; one round shattered the rear windshield and hit Davis in the head, a wound that proved fatal. Flying glass also caused minor injuries to a one-year-old infant who was inside the same car.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated and arrested two men in connection with the shooting. Darryl Landers, 21 at the time, and 22-year-old Akiem Harris were taken into custody and charged with one count of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted first-degree murder. Reports did not immediately state a motive.

Israel Davis was remembered in his obituary as a loving father and son, and his funeral drew a large gathering of family and community members. Does anyone have information about Israel, the incident, or the events leading up to July 24, 2017?
