On a Saturday evening in Washington, D.C., the lives of the Davis family were irrevocably shattered. On April 3, 2021, 29-year-old Anthony Davis, Jr., a male from Temple Hills, and his younger brother, 26-year-old Antuan Davis, were fatally shot. The brothers were inside a residence in the 4200 block of 4th Street, Southeast, when the sound of gunshots pierced the night at approximately 10:14 p.m.
When officers from the Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene, they discovered both Anthony and Antuan deceased.
The double homicide left a profound void in the lives of their loved ones. Their mother, Kera Carter, described her sons as her only children, who were known for their smiles and generous nature within their community. She believes the shooting was a targeted attack. Anthony was a father to a nine-year-old son and a baby girl who had just turned five months old at the time of his death. His younger brother, Antuan, also left behind a six-year-old son. The family was left to grapple with the sudden and violent loss of two of its members in one tragic incident.
In the wake of the shooting, the Metropolitan Police Department launched an investigation into the double homicide. The department has appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the apprehension of those responsible for the deaths of Anthony and Antuan Davis. As of now, the case remains unsolved, with no suspects publicly identified or arrested. The family continues to await justice for the two brothers whose lives were cut short.
