On a Saturday morning in Boston, on November 5, 2016, a young Black / African American man named Anthony Toombs was found shot inside a car on Nazing Street in the Roxbury neighborhood. The 24-year-old was rushed to a hospital but ultimately succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. Friends of Toombs, who knew him as "Lil Ant," were left mourning his sudden and violent death.
The investigation into the shooting, which police suspected was gang-related, quickly focused on a
suspect. Less than two weeks later, on November 18, 2016, the Boston Police Fugitive Unit arrested 23-year-old Antoiwane Davis of Dorchester. The arrest took place on Nazing Street, the very same street where Toombs had been gunned down. Davis was subsequently charged with the murder of Anthony Toombs.
Following his arrest, Antoiwane Davis was expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court to face the murder charge. The online sources available do not provide information on the outcome of the legal proceedings against Davis, including whether a trial was held or what the verdict and any subsequent sentencing were. The resolution of the charges against the man accused of ending Anthony Toombs's life remains unclear from the available information.
