Damien Davis, 34, was found shot execution-style on January 2, 2024, in the front parking lot area of the Lake Mangonia Apartments in West Palm Beach, Florida. His body was discovered in the passenger side of a vehicle parked near North Australian Avenue, adjacent to Roosevelt Middle School. The West Palm Beach Police Department treated the death as a homicide and investigated it alongside a separate fatal shooting that same day at Ninth Street and Tamarind Avenue.

Residents at Lake Mangonia have long voiced concerns about violence in the complex; one resident said she no longer feels safe after living there 14 years. No arrest had been announced in Davis’s killing as of initial reports, and police were working with the community on the investigation.
