Family calls for action after son killed in MPLS

Emotional family calls for action on teen violence after boy killed in Minneapolis

• A 14-year-old boy, Alan Davis, was shot and killed near 37th and Bryant Avenue North in Minneapolis on Memorial Day. His family spoke out about the violence involving young people in the city during a press conference on Wednesday.
• Alan’s mother said that her son had been bullied and was ultimately killed because others thought he had snitched on some other middle schoolers, who Alan thought were his friends. The family says that isn’t true. They describe Alan as a peaceful person and a scholar.
• Police are still investigating Richmond’s death. No arrests have been made at this time.

“I sat at the table with him. I ate with him. I laid down. I went to sleep,” Alan’s sister, Alicia Davis, recalled. “That was the last time I saw my brother.”

The family is currently dealing with an unbelievable amount of grief. Alan’s grandfather was in tears as he shared his pain.

“Sometimes we look at the police as being negative, but I look at them today as positive because they tried to bring my grandson back, but God gave him his wings,” Alan’s grandfather, Frank Davis, said.
