On September 22, 2024, 36-year-old Jarrick Daewan Lee Davidson was fatally shot in a drive-by attack in Dayton, Ohio. The shooting happened about 4:30 p.m. in the 2900 block of Louella Avenue while Davidson was visiting a relative and was outside playing with his 3-year-old son. A vehicle approached, occupants opened fire, and Davidson was critically wounded; he died at a local hospital.

Dayton police investigators opened a homicide inquiry. In October 2024 authorities arrested a 17-year-old male in connection with the shooting and also charged the teenager’s mother, 37-year-old Latoya Newberry, with complicity to commit murder and obstructing justice, alleging she drove her son to and from the scene and later gave false information to police. Davidson was a father of four boys; his mother, Michelle Cates, called the killing senseless and heartless. Funeral services were held October 7, 2024, at Thomas Funeral Home & Crematory, with interment at Shiloh Park Cemetery.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or about activity in the Louella Avenue area that afternoon?
