Twelve-year-old Kenyon Davis was killed on the evening of July 19, 2022, inside a west side Detroit home. Family and neighbors were left distraught after police were called and an investigation began.

Authorities determined the shooting to be accidental. The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged Kenyon’s 13-year-old cousin as a juvenile with manslaughter, reflecting that prosecutors treated the death as an unintentional killing while pursuing accountability through juvenile court. The father of one of the boys was reportedly asleep in the home at the time. Vigils were held in Kenyon’s memory and the case prompted local discussion about gun safety and secure storage.
