Felita A. Davis was 42 and working as a medical assistant when she was shot and killed while driving on Interstate 70 in St. Louis on the evening of September 4, 2014. Around 7:30 p.m. a light-colored vehicle, described by witnesses as possibly a Pontiac Firebird or Camaro with a loud muffler, pulled alongside her black 2014 Chevrolet Impala and occupants opened fire. An assault rifle was fired into the driver’s side; Davis suffered multiple gunshot wounds to her upper chest, arm, and buttocks. She slowed and stopped on the center median near mile marker 247.4; emergency responders took her to a hospital where she later died.

Davis was a mother of two, known for her vibrant personality and love of roller skating, and had worked at Missouri Baptist Hospital and SSM facilities in North County. Witnesses described the shooter as an unknown Black male, but no specific suspects have been publicly identified and the homicide remained unsolved. Her sister Glenda Lay and St. Louis CrimeStoppers have continued to push for information and public attention through vigils and meetings.

If anyone was on I-70 near East Grand Avenue that evening or remembers seeing a light-colored Firebird or Camaro with a loud muffler, please share what was seen.
