Jessie Daviduk was 21 when he was shot in the back of the head during a drug transaction in a van at the intersection of South and Dewey Avenues on September 15, 2014. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center and removed from life support on October 2, 2014. His death was recorded as Youngstown’s 11th homicide of the year.

Reports indicate the shooting occurred after a gunman demanded everything from Daviduk during the drug deal. The van’s driver escaped and drove Daviduk to the hospital while the suspect jumped out of the moving vehicle. The motive is described as robbery. Daviduk is survived by his parents, five brothers, and six sisters; his funeral was held October 8, 2014, with interment at Forest Lawn Cemetery.

Does anyone have information about the September 15, 2014 shooting or remember details from that day that could shed more light on what happened?
