Lamont Smiggen Davis, 46, was shot in Wilmington on the night of February 16, 2020. Police responded to the 800 block of North Adams Street at about 10:02 p.m. and found Davis suffering from gunshot wounds; emergency crews transported him to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.

The shooting was not isolated to Davis. A second victim, Wade Hammond, was also wounded in the same incident and later died, turning the incident into a double-fatality homicide investigation. Wilmington police treated the case as active and asked the public for help, with Detective Matthew Bender listed as the contact for tips. Reports described the scene and victims but did not provide a motive or a clear account of events leading up to the gunfire.

Some online listings tied to the companion case mention that a person was later charged or indicted in connection with at least one death from the February 2020 North Adams Street shooting, but available details do not confirm a suspect, the exact charges, or the outcome specifically for Davis’s death. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Lamont Davis, please come forward with tips.
