Isaiah Davis was 17 when he was shot to death on October 28, 2021. A Burnham, Illinois, high school senior who hoped to join the National Guard and study law, Isaiah was found burned in an alley in Harvey, Illinois. Investigators say he was killed at a home in Burnham, then moved and set on fire in an effort to destroy evidence.

Authorities arrested 34-year-old Faheem Norwood and charged him with first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Norwood, who was on parole, pointed a gun at Isaiah and pulled the trigger twice during a game of Russian roulette, with the second pull killing Isaiah. Norwood allegedly used a U-Haul to move the body to an abandoned apartment in Riverdale before it was dumped in the Harvey alley. His attorney has described the shooting as accidental; the judge ordered Norwood held without bail.

Isaiah’s mother, Leslie Bell, spoke with neighbors and gathered information that led to Norwood’s arrest. Isaiah’s family and community remember him as a bright, ambitious young man. If anyone knew Isaiah or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
