Davion Patterson was a 15-year-old sophomore at Milwaukee Excellence Charter School when he was killed on the night of March 20, 2023. Family members say he went with his sister to help their godsisters after a dispute between two women near 14th Street and Concordia Avenue. Davion was described as trying to act as a peacemaker when gunfire erupted around 11:30 p.m.; he was struck by multiple bullets and pronounced dead at the scene. Five young women, ages 18 to 22, were also wounded, including Davion’s older sister.

Investigators recovered about 30 spent casings, suggesting shots from two weapons. Witnesses and victims identified a shooter from a photo lineup. Police arrested 16-year-old Romello Littlejohn the next day; after changing his account several times he admitted to firing a .40 caliber handgun and said he had shot into the air. He was charged with first-degree reckless homicide and related felonies for the injured women.

If anyone was at the scene that night or has information about what led to the shooting, please share what is known.
