On September 18, 2023, Devon D. Davis, a 33-year-old resident of Bolingbrook, Illinois, was found shot in a home located in the 300 block of Walnut Circle. The incident occurred in the afternoon, with police being called to the scene shortly before 2 p.m. for a report of a person shot. Upon arrival, officers found Devon Davis injured and he was subsequently taken to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The shooting is believed to have resulted from a family argument and is not considered a random act of violence. The suspected shooter, identified as Timothy Terrell Davis, 28, who is Devon's brother, fled the scene on foot before police arrived. Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Bolingbrook police and the Joliet police, were involved in a manhunt for Timothy Davis. He was eventually apprehended by Joliet police late Monday afternoon in Will County.
Following his arrest, Timothy Terrell Davis was charged with several offenses, including three counts of first-degree murder, one count of armed habitual criminal, and one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. He appeared in bond court on Wednesday and was ordered held without bail. The incident prompted a shelter-in-place order for nearby schools, which was later lifted after the suspect was taken into custody.
Devon D. Davis was born in Chicago, Illinois, and his death has been met with condolences from the community, with a memorial page set up for family and friends to leave sympathy messages.
