Rodney Delonte Davis was 25 when he was found with fatal gunshot wounds on the unit block of Galveston Place SW in Washington, D.C., on June 28, 2015. Known to friends and family as Lo for his interest in fashion, he was a father of two boys and described by his mother, Lisa Ellis, as a homebody who enjoyed time with his children and playing basketball.

In the weeks after Davis’s killing, his murder sparked a cycle of gang retaliation. Members of the Imperial Gangsta Bloods believed Ryan Addison was responsible for Davis’s death. On the night of August 10, 2015, a high-ranking member authorized Joshua Artis to carry out a retaliatory shooting; Addison was fatally shot on Elmira Street SW in the early hours of August 11, 2015. Artis later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years. He reportedly expressed remorse and said he had killed the wrong person.

As of early 2019, Davis’s murder remained unsolved with few leads and no arrests announced in that case. Does anyone have information about Rodney’s movements on June 28, 2015, or the area around Galveston Place SW?
