In the spring of 2018, a life was tragically cut short in Meridian, Mississippi. Will Tre'von Davis, a 19-year-old male, was killed on April 11, 2018. Born on July 25, 1998, Davis was a young man with his life ahead of him. In his youth, he was active in sports, playing baseball for the Astros Baseball Team from the ages of four to ten and also dedicating a year to football in the city league.
The circumstances of his death prompted a swift investigation by local law enforcement.
In the days following the incident, police identified a suspect in the fatal shooting. A teenager named Zedrick Rashad Wilson was publicly named as the individual wanted in connection with Davis's death. The search for Wilson culminated in his arrest a short time later.
Following his apprehension, Zedrick Rashad Wilson was charged with the murder of Will T. Davis. In the subsequent legal proceedings, Wilson, a teenager from Meridian, waived a preliminary hearing. This legal step moved his case forward in the criminal justice system, initiating the process to hold him accountable for the death of Will Tre'von Davis.
