Keddreco Davis, a 37-year-old African American man, died on September 16, 2017, in Fort Worth, Texas. Official accounts link his passing to a homicide, but the case file contains few concrete details about what happened that day.

Davis had a significant criminal history: he was previously convicted of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and received a 20-year sentence for that robbery. During that trial several alibi witnesses testified for him, but a jury found him guilty; his conviction and appeal have been part of the record that frames his life story.

Beyond the date, place, and his prior conviction, the circumstances of his death, including any suspects, arrests, or charges connected to the homicide, are not detailed.
