In the city of Greenwood, Mississippi, a weekend in the fall of 2022 was shattered by a wave of violence that left three men dead, one of whom was Ashton Davis. A 26-year-old man, Davis, lost his life on Sunday, October 23, 2022, a victim of gun violence. He worked in food service and was a graduate of Greenwood High School.
That Sunday evening, the Greenwood Police Department received calls about a fight involving weapons.
When officers arrived at the 800 block of Main Street, they discovered a tragic scene. Both Ashton Davis and another man, 31-year-old Quincy 'Que' Turner, had been shot and killed. Turner was a well-known bartender at the Greenwood Country Club. The two men were together when the shooting occurred.
The violence of that day was not isolated to the incident on Main Street. Earlier the same evening, another man, Justin Doyle, was killed in a separate shooting. Law enforcement officials believe the three homicides could be related, suggesting a possible connection between the events that unfolded.
In the days following the shootings, the community of Greenwood was left to grapple with the loss and the unsettling violence. While the investigation into the deaths of Ashton Davis, Quincy Turner, and Justin Doyle is ongoing, law enforcement has not publicly identified any suspects or announced any arrests in connection with the case. The lack of resolution has left the victims' families and the wider community awaiting justice.
