Davonte Kyle Burris, 18, was killed on the evening of September 3, 2023, in the 500 block of Catina Way in Newport News, Virginia. Officers arrived about 8:37 p.m. after reports of gunfire and found Burris, a Hampton resident born November 11, 2004, suffering at least one gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene less than fifteen minutes later.

Police say Burris had just exited a Lyft when an unidentified person on a BMX-style bicycle approached and opened fire. After being shot, Burris knocked on the door of a nearby residence and entered the home before collapsing from his injuries. Investigators released surveillance footage showing the cyclist entering the apartment complex and fleeing after the shooting.

Davonte had moved to Virginia during his teenage years and was remembered for an outgoing personality and a love of music and drawing. The Newport News Police Department continues to ask anyone with information about the shooting or the cyclist seen in the video to contact authorities.
