That incident happened, police officials have said, shortly after a group of teenagers were involved in a fight about 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the back of a bus running the Route 15 trolley route near 40th Street and Girard Ave.
The bus driver pulled over and told the teens involved in the altercation to get off the bus and, officials said, as they exited the vehicle, one teen turned and fired a handgun into the bus.
That single shot, officials said, struck Davis in the chest, killing him.
