Leslie Yvette Davis, 54, was found dead at her home in Palmer Park, Maryland, on May 10, 2025, after being fatally shot. She was babysitting her four young grandchildren when the shooting occurred; the children—the youngest only ten months old—remained in the house with her body for several hours before relatives discovered the scene. Her daughters arrived at the Ray Leonard Road residence to pick up the children and made the discovery.

Prince George’s County Police say the shots were fired from outside and went through Davis’s bedroom window. Investigators believe the attack was targeted, but no clear motive has been established; the family has suggested the possibility of mistaken identity. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. A reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

Davis is remembered by family as a reverend, grandmother, and active church member known for her kindness and willingness to help others. Does anyone with information about activity near Ray Leonard Road on May 10 have tips for the investigation?
