Davion Finesse Andrew Latson, Sr., a 25-year-old African American man from Lima, Ohio, tragically passed away on September 5, 2021. He was born on December 15, 1995, in Defiance, Ohio, to Michael Latson and Jennifer Stewart. Davion worked as a self-employed car salesman and was known for his musical talents and love for family functions. He was affectionately nicknamed "Bubby" and left behind a girlfriend, Emily Scarberry, and four children: Davion Latson Jr., Elias Latson, Amyla Latson, and
Kahlani Latson.
The circumstances surrounding Davion's death involved a series of verbal altercations that escalated on the night of September 5, 2021. Demarco Morris, a 34-year-old man from Toledo, was involved in a confrontation with Davion's father, Michael Latson. During the altercation, Morris picked up a gun and began firing at a truck driven by Davion, resulting in Davion's death and causing an accident that injured Michael Latson.
Morris was later convicted of one count of murder, two counts of second-degree felonious assault, and a first-degree felony count of discharging a firearm on prohibited premises. He received a mandatory prison sentence of 30 years to life. The court heard emotional pleas from Davion's family members, who expressed the immense pain and suffering caused by the loss of Davion.
The Latson family has endured significant hardship due to this senseless act of violence, and Davion's children are now growing up without their father. The family's grief and the impact of Davion's death have been profound, with his mother and other relatives calling for justice and expressing their deep sorrow.
Davion's legacy lives on through his music, his love for his children, and the memories cherished by those who knew him. His death serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of violence and the importance of seeking justice for victims and their families.
