On June 26, 2014, two young men were found shot to death outside an apartment building in the 1600 block of West 5th Avenue in Gary, Indiana. Police responded to reports of shots fired around 1:30 a.m. and discovered 17-year-old Daven James and 23-year-old Darrien Eftes unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Daven, known to his loved ones as Debo, was a member of True Light Fellowship Church and worked at a local Wendy’s. He was survived by his parents, Rickey and Latasha James, several sisters and a large extended family who remembered him as loving, protective and funny. The Gary Police Department secured the scene and searched for evidence inside and outside the building, but no arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath.

There have been no publicly reported arrests or suspects named, and authorities have not disclosed a motive. Does anyone have information that could help bring answers for Daven’s family?
