NYPD seeks woman in connection with shooting of man found at Bronx hospital.

Authorities are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a woman connected to a tragic homicide case in the Bronx. Investigators have released images of the suspect, who is described as being between 20 to 25 years old with long red hair, a tattoo on her right forearm, and dressed in a black crop top. The woman fled the scene shortly after a violent incident that resulted in the death of Jontay Davis, a 21-year-old man who was shot twice in the head while seated in a vehicle early on the morning of September 2.

Police discovered Davis’s body behind St. Barnabas Hospital, where first responders attempted resuscitation efforts. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafter. The investigation into the shooting led to the arrest of Xavier Kearney, 23, who has been charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Following his arraignment at Bronx Criminal Court, Kearney was remanded without bail.

Further developments in the case occurred on September 11, when Desean Edwards, 22, was apprehended on similar charges, also facing allegations of murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Both Kearney and Edwards are said to have been armed with firearms during the incident, yet authorities have not definitively identified who fired the fatal shot.

The two suspects reside in different boroughs, with Kearney located in Soundview, Bronx, and Edwards in Flatbush, Brooklyn. As the investigation unfolds, law enforcement is appealing to the community for any information that could aid in locating the female suspect.

The shooting has left family members of Davis devastated. His mother described him as a beautiful child with aspirations to become a mechanic after recently graduating high school. In an effort to honor his memory and cover funeral costs, Davis’s older sister launched a GoFundMe campaign, expressing the profound grief her family is experiencing in the wake of this senseless tragedy.

A heartfelt message from his sister illustrated the impact Davis had on those around him, highlighting his kindness and unique perspective on life due to his autism. The family is grappling with the loss, forever marked by the pain of having lost a son, brother, and friend in such a heartbreaking manner. Media News Source continues to follow this evolving story as authorities work diligently to resolve the case and bring justice for Davis and his grieving family.
