Namir Rashan Davis, 22, was shot and killed on September 1, 2019, on the 100-block of St. Francis Court in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Police found him deceased from a shotgun blast to the right side of his face; another man who was with him was wounded.

The investigation led to the arrest of two suspects, Rashawn Grant and Tyrone Martin, who were taken into custody in Newark, New Jersey and extradited to North Carolina. Both were charged with first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury and were held in the Edgecombe County Jail without bond. On September 30, 2022, an Edgecombe County jury convicted Rashawn L. Grant of first-degree murder in Namir Davis’s death. The motive for the killing has not been made clear in reports.
