In the early hours of New Year's Day 2017, a celebration in Detroit turned into a scene of tragedy, leaving a father and son dead. Lavar Edwards, a 39-year-old male, and his 21-year-old son, Dewan Davis, were fatally shot outside a party on Faust Street, near Tireman Avenue. The two, who were described as being very close and even worked together, were reportedly screaming outside shortly before the gunshots rang out around 4 a.m.
The sudden violence left their family reeling and
pleading for answers. Lavar Edwards was a resident of Detroit at the time of his passing. His son, Dewan Davis, had recently become a father himself, leaving behind a nine-month-old daughter. The profound loss was deeply felt by their loved ones, who mourned the senseless killing of both a father and his son.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the Detroit Police Department launched an investigation into the double homicide. However, in the days following the incident, authorities had not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the killings. The family made public appeals for anyone with information to come forward and assist the police in their investigation, hoping to bring justice for Lavar and Dewan. As of now, there is no publicly available information to suggest that any arrests have been made or suspects identified in the years that have passed since the fatal shooting.
