Jared Jacob Davis, 47, was killed in Lynchburg, Virginia on Sunday, March 6, 2022. A father of three, brother and son, he is remembered by friends and family as a loving, private man, a skilled basketball player and a student of the game. Those who knew him describe him as honest, straightforward and kind.

The death prompted a police investigation that led to the March 2022 arrest of Keri Sharpe, who was charged with second-degree murder and with possession and use of a firearm in connection with Davis’s death. In September a judge granted Sharpe a $15,000 secured bond with special conditions after a key witness failed to appear for court a second time; the case was set to be continued in November.

Anyone who knew Jared, saw him in Lynchburg, or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
