Amyri Dior, a 23-year-old Black/African American transgender woman, was fatally shot inside a residence near North 95th Street and West Brown Deer Road on Milwaukee’s northwest side during the early morning hours of February 21, 2025. Police were dispatched at about 12:30 a.m.; Dior was alive when officers arrived and reportedly identified her shooter as Davion before she stopped breathing. She was later pronounced dead and an autopsy found three gunshot wounds. Investigators recovered three spent casings, a brass bullet fragment and Dior’s phone from the scene.

Detectives recovered Facebook messages between Dior and an account using the name Glockboy Davi and say those exchanges continued through February 20. Prosecutors allege Dior had demanded money and threatened to disclose conversations and photos; those allegations were cited in charging documents but had not been proven at trial. Investigators identified Davion L. Steed, compared photos, examined phone records that placed his device in the area that night, and say his phone showed outgoing activity shortly after the shooting. Steed was arrested March 8, 2025, and charged with first-degree intentional homicide; a judge on March 21 found probable cause to bind the case over for trial.

Family members described Dior as loving, outgoing and unapologetically herself, with a passion for singing and dancing. A vigil held on March 8 brought relatives and community members together to mourn and call for justice.
