JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Friday marks one month since Malcolm Davis, 36, was shot and killed while driving in Northwest Jacksonville. Police say after the shooting, Davis kept driving a short distance before passing out behind the wheel.
No one has been arrested and police say there haven’t been any new leads.
Malcolm Davis' family says it's hard to believe it has already been one month. They tell me he was just driving to work at 6 a.m. when he was shot. All they want is to find out who did this and why.
"We hung together every day. We talked. He called me. The one thing I really remember him saying was, 'nephew this, nephew that,’” said Davis’ Nephew, Kareem Edwards.
Edwards will never forget that call exactly one month ago- when he got the news Davis had been killed.
"I got the phone call at 7:30. I turned on the news at 8, but by 8:30, I was there," said Edwards.
His worst fear was confirmed. His uncle was dead. Davis' sister, Lynda Wright, got the same devastating news.
"My sister called me. I said, 'stop playing'. And she said, 'no for real. Somebody shot and killed our brother'. We've got to go over there,’” said Davis’ sister, Lynda Wright.
When Wright saw the police cars, only then did she know it was true.
"I was like, oh my god. This is really real. We've never had anything like this happen to us- ever, in our family," said Wright.
Wright's face lights up with joy when talking about the kind of person her brother was.
"He loved to joke around, he loved to hang out. He loved to make you laugh. You can't be mad at him because he would make you laugh," Wright said.
But that joy soon turned to tears.
"Words can't even explain how much he meant to me. Someone just took him away," said Wright.
Saturday, the group MAD DADS is holding a neighborhood walk in hopes of generating more tips from the public.
"It's important, once again, for the community to give the family some closure. We've got the power to do that. Just by speaking up and telling what you know," said Al Jordan with MAD DADS.
Davis' family says that's the only way they can move forward.
"We can't do this without the public's help. We can't do it by ourselves. We need everybody's help, that's watching this. We need you," said Edwards.
The MAD DADS walk Saturday, begins at 11 a.m. at West 31st street and Stuart. Anyone with information is asked to call JSO 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.
