Dayshone King, 27, known to family as Day Day, was fatally shot just before 4 a.m. on a Saturday in June 2025 at Jefferson Avenue and Broadway on Buffalo’s east side. Officers found him on the ground; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the shooting grew out of an altercation involving several men.

King was a tattoo artist who learned the craft from his father and supported three young children. Family describe him as having a huge personality and a constant smile and are planning to turn his drawings into merchandise and pursue showing his work at the AKG Art Museum as part of his legacy. As of mid-June 2025 no arrests had been announced and the Buffalo Police Department asked anyone with information to call their tip line.
