Shavay Davis, a 29-year-old Black woman, was found fatally shot in the head in her bed at a residence in the 4000 block of Lexington Avenue in the Greater Ville neighborhood of St. Louis on the morning of September 19, 2022. Officers were called around 10:00 a.m. after her ex-boyfriend arrived at the home and discovered her. A dog was also found shot to death beside her. Two young children were inside the residence at the time and were reported physically unharmed.

Investigators examined the scene for signs of forced entry, including reports that a barbecue pit outside an open window may have been used to gain access. Homicide detectives were assigned to the case and evidence was collected, but the investigation has faced challenges. As of late 2025 no arrests had been announced and no suspects had been publicly identified. Anyone with information that could help solve this homicide is asked to come forward.
