In the winter of 2020, the life of a Phoenix teenager was tragically cut short, leaving a community in search of answers that have yet to come. John 'JJ' William Hardy Davis, a 15-year-old Black male, was killed by gun violence on December 7, 2020. The incident that claimed the young man's life remains shrouded in mystery, as the case is still unsolved.
Details regarding the specific circumstances of the shooting, including the location and what led to it, have not been publicly disclosed.
