In the overnight hours between March 20th and 21st, 2019, a wave of violence swept across Baltimore, leaving two young men dead and two others wounded in separate incidents. One of the lives tragically cut short was that of 19-year-old Daunta Davis.
On the evening of Wednesday, March 20, 2019, at approximately 11:49 p.m., police were called to the 2400 block of Greenmount Avenue. There, they discovered Daunta Davis suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight on March 21st. The male victim’s death was part of a particularly violent night in the city. Earlier in the evening, another man, 22-year-old Jevano Johnson, was fatally shot in Northeast Baltimore. Two other individuals were also injured in separate shootings during the same period.
Information regarding the specific circumstances leading up to the shooting of Daunta Davis has not been made widely available in public sources. Details about a possible motive, any altercation that may have preceded the shooting, or a description of any potential suspect or suspects have not been released.
As of the latest available information, there have been no announced arrests in connection with the death of Daunta Davis. The investigation into his murder remains ongoing. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or persons of interest in the case. The lack of resolution leaves a painful void for the family and friends of the young man whose life was abruptly taken on that violent night in Baltimore.
