Victor Davila, a 40-year-old Hispanic man, died May 7, 2017, in Fort Worth, Texas. His death is described as connected to a larger episode of gang violence and retaliation that included a fatal shooting at a birthday party on April 6, 2008.

Erick Daniel Davila, described as a former Fort Worth gang member, was implicated in that shooting. At the April 6, 2008 attack he reportedly used a laser-sighted semi-automatic rifle and opened fire on partygoers; the shooting killed a 5-year-old girl and her grandmother. Authorities believe the attack was retaliation aimed at Jerry Stevenson, thought to be a member of a rival gang.

Erick Davila was tried for capital murder, and the trial record noted he was high on drugs at the time; defense counsel argued that could affect penalty decisions. He was convicted, sentenced to death, and executed April 24, 2018.
