Davonte Bell, an 18-year-old Black man from Horn Lake, was killed in a shooting in Memphis, Tennessee, on the evening of Tuesday, January 5, 2021. The killing occurred at the Birch Road apartments in the Whitehaven neighborhood during what authorities believe was a robbery gone wrong. Bell had been at the complex to sell a PlayStation gaming console and was shot during the encounter.

His mother, Erika Norris, described him on a GoFundMe as hardworking, talented, genuine, and respectful, and said his death was a complete tragedy. The Memphis Police Department has an open homicide investigation; the initial motive was identified as robbery, and no arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced.

Does anyone who lived near Birch Road apartments or who sold gaming consoles in that area around January 2021 have information that could help investigators?
