Four-year-old Madison Grace Davis, an African American child from Birmingham, died on June 25, 2024, at Children’s of Alabama from injuries tied to a shooting that had also killed her father nearly two years earlier. In September 2022 Madison, then a toddler, was in a vehicle on Arkadelphia Road with her infant brother and her 22-year-old father, Demarkus Etwan Moss, when their car was shot. Moss was fatally wounded but drove on until crashing on Interstate 59/20; the infant sustained minor injuries while Madison was severely injured.

Officials never publicly confirmed whether Madison’s fatal injuries came from the shooting itself or the subsequent crash. She was hospitalized after the 2022 attack and was later released, but details about her medical care and what led to her readmission before her death have not been disclosed. The Jefferson County Coroner ruled her death a homicide linked to the earlier violence.

Birmingham police continue to investigate and have made no arrests in the shootings that killed Demarkus Etwan Moss and Madison Grace Davis. Can anyone with information about the September 2022 shooting or the people involved help investigators move this case forward?
