On April 22, 2021, 12-year-old Devell Johnson Jr., a Black sixth-grade student in Davenport, Iowa, was struck by gunfire near an intersection and died. Another juvenile was also injured in the same shooting. Devell’s family and friends remember him as a vibrant boy with a bright smile, who liked backflips, playing basketball and making TikTok videos.

The Davenport Police Department investigated the shooting. In the days after the incident, a suspect was identified and taken into custody: Joshaun D. Coleman, 21, of St. Joseph, Missouri. He was arrested with assistance from the St. Joseph Police Department and the Buchanan County, Missouri, Sheriff’s Department, extradited to Iowa, and charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and intimidation with a dangerous weapon.

Does anyone have information about Devell, the shooting, or the area where it happened that could help investigators or the family?
