Clatus Waltu Davis, a 20-year-old man, was killed by gunfire on January 12, 2006, in Hyattsville, Maryland.
As daylight faded into early evening, the shooting was reported around 6:05 p.m. near the intersection of 20th Avenue and Woodberry Street in the 20783 area. Accounts circulating online later tied him to an address in Newark, Delaware, underscoring the way the violence that night rippled beyond the neighborhood where he fell.
In the records that remain publicly visible, the details stop at the brutal essentials: a young life ended, a specific corner marked by a timestamp, and the bare note that he was “lost to gun violence.” A few memorial-style listings preserve pieces of identity that friends and family would have known instantly—his birth date appearing in online remembrance pages, and the nickname “Tus” attached to his name—small human anchors in an otherwise stark public outline.
As for who pulled the trigger and what happened next, the accessible online trail does not name a suspect, describe a motive, or document an arrest, charge, trial, or conviction connected to his death. The surviving summaries point back to law-enforcement documentation and short contemporaneous mentions, but they do not provide public follow-through identifying a person held responsible.
What can be seen, years later, is how the aftermath settled: his name continuing to surface in gun-violence memorial databases, and his burial recorded in Delaware, where mourners could return to a fixed place to grieve what was taken on that January evening in Hyattsville.
