Keiauna Davis, 27, was walking home from her job at a Dollar General in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, on the late afternoon of February 22, 2018, when a car pulled up and a man emerged and shot her during an attempted robbery. She had a recent $3,000 tax refund with her that she planned to use to move with her two young daughters to North Carolina to be closer to her mother. After being shot in the hip and suffering a severed major artery, she was taken to a nearby hospital and died of her injuries.

Investigators say the theft was not random. A co-worker, 21-year-old Laya Whitley, allegedly learned Davis was carrying cash and sent texts to enlist two men in a plot. According to charging documents, 21-year-old Dane Taylor confronted Davis and fired the fatal shot while 23-year-old Kaijin Scott drove the vehicle used in the robbery. All three were arrested and charged with homicide and robbery.

Whitley and Taylor later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, robbery, and conspiracy and received lengthy prison terms. Scott was tried and convicted for his role. Does anyone have information about Davis’s life in Wilkinsburg or about her last movements that could help fill in gaps in this case?
