Jhakar Horace Davis, 18, was killed in a drive-by shooting on July 12, 2021, outside 251 Biltmore Avenue in Asheville. Known as Church, Davis was shot multiple times; a dark SUV fled the scene and officers arriving found him already deceased. He was born April 3, 2003, and attended Asheville High School and T.C. Robinson High School, remembered by family and friends for his football ability and sense of humor.

Police said they are investigating possible gang involvement and noted Davis had been present at an earlier shooting outside Westville Pub on May 29, 2021, in which Keith Larnel Blair, 31, was killed and two others were injured. Davis was arrested July 8, 2021, on weapon-related charges and released on a $60,000 secured bond. His parents say media coverage that treated him as a suspect in the Westville Pub shooting made him a target and have questioned the police response.

What did anyone who knew him or who was in that part of Asheville on July 12 learn that night that could help clarify what happened?
