On March 6, 2015, 15-year-old DaVontae Ziegler was on the front porch of his North Nashville home with two friends when a single gunshot struck him. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and later died of his injuries.

The Metro Nashville Police Department determined the shooter was one of the boys who had been with DaVontae. An 11-year-old present at the scene was identified as the person who fired the shot and was charged with criminal homicide; the child’s name was not released because of his age. The shooting left two families grieving and highlighted the tragedy of gun violence involving very young people.

Are there readers who remember Neighbhorhood activity on that March afternoon or who knew DaVontae and can share anything that might help explain what happened?
