Amberiya Davis was 15 when she was killed in a drive-by shooting on the evening of April 24, 2016, in Memphis, Tennessee. An African American female, she was struck in the back by a bullet and found lying in the grass at the Foote Homes public housing complex; another teenager suffered minor injuries in the same incident. Reports describe the shooting as emerging from an ongoing dispute involving a group of teenagers.

Two days later a 15-year-old, Yamar Calvin, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and employment of a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony. The case was handled by the District Attorney’s Multi-Agency Gang Prosecution Unit. Calvin was later transferred to be tried as an adult and a Shelby County grand jury indicted him in February 2017; his father said his son had bought a gun months earlier and maintained he was not the shooter.

Anyone who was at Foote Homes on April 24, 2016, or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
