4 People Charged In Shooting Death Of 13-Year-Old Boy In Chester

Eight people were shot across the city of Chester on Monday — a violent day recorded in a city that needs help. That troubling statistic was met with a major development in a tragic homicide.

A month after they buried their 13-year-old son, the Davis family got news Tuesday from U.S. Marshals and police that four people are now held on first-degree murder in their son’s killing.

Police have charged 23-year-old Tavon Starkey, 23-year-old Keyonte Watkins, 30-year-old Danielle Showell and 22-year-old Sulayman Womack with first-degree murder and related offenses.

“It’s so bitter for me, man, not just because he’s my son, he was one of these people that’s once-in-a-generational kids. He wasn’t selfish about himself because of his athletic ability he had,” father Kyle Davis said.

Ny’Ques Davis had an infectious smile. The Chester eighth-grader was a natural talent on the basketball court and football field.

He was shot numerous times on May 3 behind Saint Katharine Drexel Church.

“He was targeted, he was chased down and he was executed in the middle of the day,” Deputy District Attorney Matthew Krouse said.

His heartbroken parents have continued to celebrate his life. His graduation banner hangs proudly outside the family’s twin home.

Friends keep vigil at his nearby grave where lights, flowers and balloons have been placed.

Neighbors were visibly relieved with word arrests had been made.

“Good, they finally caught them [expletives],” one man said.

Court documents show the four suspected killers confronted Ny’Ques.

Their movements in a silver Acura SUV with Delaware tags were allegedly tracked by surveillance.

Prosecutors wouldn’t single out who pulled the trigger or disclose why they believe Ny’Ques was targeted.

As many as three witnesses placed the four suspects at the scene.

“The last words she heard him say was, ‘Why?’ and I can’t get that out of my head,” grandmother Rosalyn Davis said.

All four suspects are being held without bond at the jail in Delaware County.

It does seem like this was NOT a random act, or grievous error.

But the kid was only 13! If he was 17, I’d think maybe some gambling thing. But 13 seems a bit young for that angle to make sense.

Rest in Peace, and may you killers face the full measure of justice.

I am sorry for this family.

But I don’t get how so many other blacks are happy to see black criminals get off on violent crimes without going to jail.

We’d all be better off if we took violent criminals off the streets for good.

"once-in-a-generation"

all I can say is for black people who really really want their families to succeed and for their children to thrive, just move....sell everything and yes, move to the suburbs or some little town....there may not be a lot of black people where you move to, but you'll be far safer then staying in the inner city....

please, good people please move your kids away from this...

“But 13 seems a bit young for that angle to make sense.”

A lot of gangs use minors to run their drugs, guns and money around because the cops won’t put them in jail. Maybe he skimmed or snitched.

Sounds like a premeditated case of target practice.

Delaware and Biden’s “finest”. A potentially very productive citizen’s life was horribly cut short by “trash”.

Isn’t it time to stop singing “Only the good die young”?

Yeah, sure, spread the riots into the hinterlands and crater property values. Great idea.

Black lives do not matter at all to black people.

93% of black homicides committed by other blacks.

Zero outrage from the black community for the massive percentage of blacks killed by other blacks.

Blacks have zero cred and fake outrage. they are phonies. Get outraged about yourselves black people.
