Duboris Davis was 18 when he was shot and killed on August 4, 2007, in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago. The killing occurred in a park area, a setting the community has seen used for other violent incidents.

Local leaders and authorities are noted to have undertaken outreach and other initiatives, but gang activity and the availability of illegal firearms are cited as ongoing obstacles to reducing violence.

The loss of Davis is presented as part of the wider human cost of the city’s violence. If anyone knew Duboris Davis, was in South Shore on August 4, 2007, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
