On the afternoon of July 10, 2021, 18-year-old Jacobe Davis of Jackson, Mississippi, was shot and killed after a dispute at the Autumn Woods apartments in the 300 block of Flag Chapel Road. Official records and funeral notices identify him as Jacoby Montrell Davis, born June 24, 2003. Witnesses reported an argument that afternoon with a 21-year-old acquaintance, Dederico Wilson, which escalated when Wilson produced a gun and opened fire. Responding officers and medical personnel found Jacobe gravely wounded at 348 Flag Chapel Road; he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators recovered weapons at the scene and pieced together the brief chain of events. Police reported that Wilson was taken into custody shortly after the shooting and that murder charges had been filed by the end of the weekend. Jacobe was laid to rest under his full name, and friends and family left online remembrances describing him as a son, brother, and friend.
