On the night of May 21, 2020, gunfire on Centre Street in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood left 24-year-old Dashawn Davis dead and another man wounded. The shooting happened just before 10 p.m.; responding officers described a chaotic, sometimes hostile scene as they tried to render aid and secure the area.

Police identified and pursued several people at the scene. Boston authorities say 43-year-old Clifford Jones of Randolph was seen with a firearm, fled, and was taken into custody after a violent struggle during which he allegedly tried to pass a second handgun to a woman; a third firearm was reportedly found with him. Officers also arrested 23-year-old Rushon Hemingway of Springfield after he was seen attempting to conceal a gun; he later turned himself in on an outstanding murder warrant on June 4, 2020. Two other men, 37-year-old Tyron Blair-Battiste of Jamaica Plain and 23-year-old Devonne McDonald-Jones of Roslindale, were charged with interfering with an officer and multiple firearm offenses respectively.

The investigation was ongoing and the final outcomes of the various charges were not detailed. Did anyone in the Jamaica Plain area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
