On the morning of Thursday, July 24, 2025, a call about an abandoned vehicle in the 1000 block of South Rolff Street in Davenport led police to the car’s interior, where they found the body of 37-year-old LC Ball Jr, a Black/African American man. Investigators determined he died of a gunshot wound, and authorities said the incident did not appear to be a random act of violence.

The investigation quickly produced arrests. Nineteen-year-old Kyontah L.D. Little and a 16-year-old male—whose name is withheld because of his age—were charged with first-degree murder and robbery. The Davenport Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances of the shooting.

Anyone who may have information about LC Ball Jr or the events leading to his death is asked to contact the Davenport Police Department or submit an anonymous tip to QC Crime Stoppers.
