Jahmeer Jett, a 19-year-old Black man and promising amateur boxer, was shot dead in Southwest Philadelphia on January 17, 2014. He was walking home a short distance from his mother’s house when an assailant approached from behind and fired multiple shots into his back. Jett was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and died a short time later.

Police investigators say the shooting grew out of a dispute over a car Jett had bought. Authorities identified 25-year-old Kevin Davis as the suspect, saying Jett returned the vehicle and asked for a refund after it broke down; a physical fight followed, which Jett reportedly won. Investigators described the subsequent ambush as a senseless, cowardly act and said Jett was unarmed and not involved in illegal activity.

Kevin Davis was located hiding at his girlfriend’s house and arrested; he was charged with Jett’s murder. Did anyone in Southwest Philadelphia around January 17, 2014 see or hear anything that could help fill gaps in this case?
