On the morning of November 8, 2024, 19-year-old Kyamonie Aquay’jah Davis was shot on Faxton Street in Utica, New York. A recent graduate of T.R. Proctor High School and a mother to a young daughter, Ka’lani, Kyamonie was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest after officers responded to multiple shots. An unidentified man was also shot in the back and survived; both were taken to Wynn Hospital where Kyamonie later died.

Investigators executed search warrants and on November 26, 2024, arrested 18-year-old Quadir Pinkney, charging him with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. On December 2, 2024, an Oneida County grand jury returned indictments for three people; 19-year-old Dion Ahemti was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. A third indicted individual remains at large and is being sought by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

The community continues to mourn Kyamonie’s loss as the case proceeds through the courts. If anyone has information about the shooting or the person still at large, please come forward.
