DAngelo Davis

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.

In the wake of the shooting, the Indianola Police Department identified a suspect in the case. Stephon Snipes, who was 20 years old at the time, was named in connection with the death of Davis. Further details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting or a potential motive have not been made publicly available.

Information regarding any formal charges brought against Stephon Snipes, or the progression of any subsequent legal proceedings, including a trial, conviction, or sentencing, is not available in online sources. The case remains one of the several instances of violent crime that troubled the Indianola community in 2019.
