Nizare Davis, a 22-year-old African American woman, was fatally shot on April 16, 2017, in Philadelphia on the 3200 block of F Street at about 1:19 a.m. The shooting followed an altercation between Davis and Craig Andrus that began after a prior dispute involving Davis’s girlfriend, Shamecca Franklin.

Witnesses reported Andrus had earlier been involved in a confrontation at a nearby bar where he allegedly put his hands around Franklin’s neck. Davis later encountered Andrus on F Street carrying a 22-caliber revolver but did not fire. Andrus fired three shots; two struck Davis and caused her death. Andrus was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. He pleaded guilty on June 4, 2018, and received a sentence of 11½ to 23 years for the murder plus 6 to 23 months for parole violations. The court noted his prior conviction for possession with intent to deliver made him prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Does anyone have information about Davis’s movements that night or witnessed the earlier bar confrontation?
