Davon Fisher was 17 when he was shot and killed in a basement in Northeast Washington, D.C., on January 12, 2018. Police found three people shot inside a duplex on Riggs Road NE that afternoon; two adult males survived, while Fisher was taken to a hospital and died of his wounds.

Detectives identified a teenage suspect from the area and in April 2018 arrested 17-year-old Shelby Jones of Waldorf, Maryland, charging him as an adult with first-degree murder while armed. Jones later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder while armed. Court filings say he admitted shooting Fisher in the back of the head with the intent to kill and also shot the other two victims to silence them. A judge denied Jones’s attempt to withdraw the plea, and in November 2019 the judge sentenced him to 19 years in prison.

Fisher’s mother said he planned to attend the University of the District of Columbia and described the family’s ongoing grief. If anyone knew Davon or has information about the shooting, please share what you remember.
