On the night of November 10, 2017, 32-year-old Nathaniel Jamaal Davis, a Black man from Newport News, Virginia, was shot and killed inside his car on the 600 block of Stoney Creek Lane near Windsor Great Park. Police were dispatched around 10 p.m., found Davis with a fatal gunshot wound, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators later linked Davis’s killing to a broader violent crime spree across Newport News in 2017. Authorities say a trio—Ronzel Monte Dixie, Kwaimain Shy’de Redmon, and Meko Montez Brown Jr.—had stolen a Cadillac and collided with Davis’s vehicle. When Davis followed the stolen car after the crash, Meko Montez Brown Jr. fatally shot him. The group is alleged to have committed multiple shootings, armed robberies and car thefts that year.

Federal prosecutors indicted Dixie, Redmon and Brown in 2022 on charges including the murder of Nathaniel Davis, and in 2024 the three were found guilty in U.S. District Court in Richmond for their roles in the crime spree that included Davis’s death.

If anyone knew Nathaniel, saw him on November 10, 2017, or has information about the collision that preceded the shooting, please come forward.
