Evelyn Irene 'Tudor' Davenport, a 71-year-old female, was a wild-spirited and kind-hearted woman, known for her humor and her love for family, garage sales, and taking in stray animals. She was a person who never missed an opportunity to make a new friend and was a cherished member of her community in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
In the fall of 2020, a tragic event unfolded that would cut her life short. On September 25, 2020, Evelyn was a victim of gun violence.
Following the shooting, she fought for her life for several weeks before she ultimately succumbed to her injuries on October 7, 2020. Her passing left a void in the lives of her husband, Kenneth Ray Davenport, her two children, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The circumstances surrounding her death were particularly heartbreaking for her family and the community. In the wake of the shooting, an investigation was launched, which led to the arrest of a suspect. The individual charged in connection with the death of Evelyn Davenport was her own grandson. He was subsequently charged with murder, and court proceedings followed where he was denied bond for the killing of his grandmother.
