On March 21, 2023, 19-year-old Zareyah Armstead was found in critical condition from gunshot wounds on Llewellyn Drive in Alexandria, Louisiana. She was transported by Acadian Ambulance Service to a local hospital but died a short time later.

The Alexandria Police Department opened a homicide investigation that identified 20-year-old Jo’Quarious O. Davis, a resident of Alexandria, as a suspect. Officers searched the area around Culpepper amid chaotic scenes described by witnesses, and Davis was taken into custody. He was charged with one count of second-degree murder in connection with Armstead’s death.

Zareyah was the daughter of Shawntae Armstead and the late William K.C. Vercher. Does anyone have information about what happened on Llewellyn Drive that day or about Zareyah’s final movements?
