On the evening of September 11, 2017, 45-year-old Shawn Evan Davis of Brooklyn, a regular visitor to Charlottesville, was shot in the chest in the 900 block of South 1st Street at about 9:20 p.m. Emergency personnel took him to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Charlottesville police investigated the homicide and identified 18-year-old Huissuan Stinnie as a suspect. Authorities released a photo and described Stinnie as an African-American male, 5 feet 5 inches tall and about 130 pounds, then obtained warrants charging him with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Stinnie was later arrested in neighboring Fluvanna County by that county’s sheriff’s deputies.

What did Shawn’s friends and regular Charlottesville acquaintances know about his visits to the city or his movements the night of September 11?
