On March 24, 2022, 15-year-old Derryana Deisha Davis was shot and killed at an apartment building on the 3900 block of 3rd Street NE in Columbia Heights, a Minneapolis suburb. She was a student in Columbia Heights Public Schools; friends and family described her as bright and intelligent with a promising future.

Two juveniles were initially questioned and released by the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office. On March 29, 2022 a 16-year-old boy from Minneapolis was charged with second-degree manslaughter; the Anoka County Attorney’s Office filed a juvenile delinquency petition and sought certification to prosecute him as an adult. Charging documents say the gun allegedly just went off and the suspect fled the scene. The suspect’s next court appearance was scheduled for April 26, 2022.

If anyone knew Derryana, was at the 3900 block of 3rd Street NE that day, or has information relevant to the investigation, please share what you know.
