Malika Charmane Davis, 32, was shot and killed on May 9, 2020, at a residence in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The shooting occurred during a violent altercation at the home involving Malika and her brother, Tyrone Davis. Tyrone was also shot while attempting to help his sister but survived his injuries.

Sims fled after the shooting but was later arrested and charged with second-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. In October 2024 Sims pled guilty and received a prison sentence of 13 to 17 years. The family’s loss underscores the human cost of gun violence.
