Seven-year-old Kamari Jones was shot in his bedroom on Parkview Street in Wilson, North Carolina, on July 23, 2014. Around 10 p.m. someone fired multiple rounds into the home; one bullet struck Kamari in the head. He died the next morning at Vidant Medical Center.

The killing prompted a large community vigil of roughly 100 residents, city leaders, and law enforcement. Arrests followed quickly: Montavius Syquan Davis, 24, from Stantonsburg, was charged with first-degree murder on July 24, 2014 and taken into custody at his home. In the weeks afterward, Ceante Latrell Spells, 22, of Greenville, and five men from Wilson — Donell V. Hill, 19; Anfernee D. Knight, 18; Kenneth T. Vinson, 22; and Demetrius Spells, 22 — were also charged in connection with the shooting after police said they gathered evidence linking them to the crime.

Anfernee Knight was later found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Kamari’s death became a focal point for concerns about gun violence and community safety in Wilson.
