Dayvon Shakur Smith was 19 when he was fatally shot on September 12, 2023, near 19th and Clarke in Milwaukee. Smith was struck multiple times, an autopsy later recording 13 gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered 29 spent casings from the same weapon; shots were fired in the direction of Smith and a nearby minivan.

A 17-year-old, Dequan Williams, was identified and charged with first-degree reckless homicide and two counts of possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent. Williams was reportedly on GPS monitoring for an earlier conviction at the time and allegedly removed his ankle monitor shortly after the homicide; his cash bond was set at $150,000. Smith was a father to a one-year-old daughter and one of eight siblings. His family described him as goofy, protective, loving and smart, and they have appealed to the community to end gun violence. A GoFundMe was started to help cover funeral expenses.
