Destiny Caprice Davis was 19 when she was shot and killed in Dayton, Ohio, on February 8, 2022. She was born January 10, 2003, in Lima, Ohio, and was the mother of a young son, Abel N. Davis. Dayton police determined she died from a single gunshot wound after being found outside in the first block of North Alder Street.

Initial reports described the shooting as a possible drive-by, but investigators later clarified it was not a drive-by and said Destiny knew her killer, making the incident not a random act of violence. A man from nearby Trotwood was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting; police alleged he went to the scene and shot Destiny.
