DuJor S. Simpson, 22, was shot and killed in Davenport, Iowa on August 18, 2017. Police responded around 9:03 a.m. to the 500 block of West 14th Street after reports of gunfire and found Simpson with a gunshot wound; he was transported to Genesis Medical Center-East Rusholme Street and was pronounced dead. His family remembered Day-Day as a protector who could bring a smile to anyone’s face; they had moved from Chicago seeking a safer life before this violence.

The slaying was the city’s ninth homicide of 2017 and came amid a recent spike in shootings that police described as target-specific and retaliatory. No arrests or publicly identified suspects had been announced, no motive has been released, and the case remained unsolved. Can anyone who knew DuJor or who was in the West 14th Street area that morning share information with Davenport detectives?
