In the summer of 2019, the life of 20-year-old D'Angelo Davis was cut short by an act of gun violence in Indianola, Mississippi. On Wednesday, June 12, 2019, Davis was fatally shot, becoming one of several young men to lose their lives to shootings in the city that year. His death contributed to what was considered a higher than normal murder rate for the community.
