Ricky Renea Davis, 29, was fatally shot while attending a vigil on July 19, 2023, near the 100 block of South Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Winston-Salem. The vigil was for Aljerone Sims, who had been killed in a drive-by earlier that week at the same location. According to reports, unknown suspects approached the vigil around 10:30 p.m. and opened fire; Davis was struck and taken to a local hospital by friends, where he later died.

Witnesses said the shooters fled via C.E. Gray Drive, but their identities and how they left the scene remain unknown. No arrests have been announced in Davis’s killing, and authorities have not said whether it is connected to the earlier homicide of Sims. Ricky Davis Jr., born August 5, 1993, was described as a sports fan who loved dogs and blues music; a funeral service was held on August 5, 2023.

Does anyone who was near the vigil that night have information that could help investigators?
