On the evening of April 4, 2022, a burst of gunfire at the intersection of Mather and Bedford streets in Hartford, Connecticut left 33-year-old Jermaine Davis dead. Davis was found unresponsive after what police describe as a drive-by shooting shortly after 7 p.m.; three other men were wounded with non-life-threatening injuries and taken to hospital. Emergency responders pronounced Davis deceased at the hospital.

Investigators say multiple shooters exited an older model, light-colored Infiniti, fired on a group gathered at the intersection, and then fled. The suspected vehicle was later found in South Windsor, intentionally set on fire and destroyed. Police have described the attack as appearing targeted, but no motive has been released and no arrests have been announced.

Davis was a father of two daughters and worked as a manager at B-Good; family and friends remembered his infectious smile, work ethic, love of basketball and playing the drums, and his desire to mentor others. If anyone has information about the shooting or the vehicle seen that night, please share what is known.
