On July 5, 2017, a burst of gunfire on North 28th Street in West Memphis, Arkansas, left 25-year-old Desmond Davis fatally shot and his mother wounded. Her injuries were reported as not life-threatening, but the family suffered the loss of Desmond and the community was shaken.

Within days the West Memphis Police Department identified two suspects: 17-year-old Malik Macklin and 18-year-old Derrick Brown. Both were sought on first-degree murder and first-degree battery charges. Derrick Brown was already in custody on unrelated charges; Malik Macklin was at large until U.S. Marshals captured him in Conway, Arkansas, on July 20, 2017. Macklin’s mother, Melica Macklin, was later arrested on an accusation of hindering his apprehension.

Are there any neighbors or witnesses who remember that night on North 28th Street and can add details about what happened?
