Devion Davis, a 21-year-old African American male, was fatally shot on September 20, 2020, in the Lithuanian Plaza area of Chicago, Illinois. The incident occurred around 1:05 p.m. in the 6900 block of South Campbell Avenue. Devion was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead. The Cook County medical examiner's office ruled his death a homicide.
Devion was described as a beloved son, basketball player, and gentle soul who was not involved in any gang
activity. He was known to be quiet and mostly kept to himself. On the day of the incident, two vehicles, a gray sedan and a gray SUV with tinted windows and no license plates, were allegedly involved. Two gunmen, one tall and the other short and wearing a black jacket, were seen fleeing the scene westward down the alley.
Area One detectives are investigating the case, but as of now, no arrests have been made. The community has rallied to seek justice for Devion, with a fundraiser organized to raise a reward for anyone who can provide legitimate information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for his death. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities continue to seek leads to solve the case.
