It has been over a decade since the tragic shooting of Utica resident Reginald Davis on Watson Place, and the search for justice continues to this day. The Utica Police Department, along with Davis’s family, remains determined to solve this cold case and bring closure to the community.

On that fateful night in May 2011, a call came in about a shooting on Watson Place, near Genesee Street. Lt. Michael Curley recalls finding Davis with a gunshot wound to the head, fighting for his life. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Davis succumbed to his injuries the following day.

In the aftermath of the shooting, a male individual was discovered hiding under a car in the vicinity. This individual, identified as Andre Jackson, was found without shoes or socks, covered in material. A handgun was later unearthed from the mud, with DNA testing confirming it belonged to Jackson. However, further investigation revealed that the gun in question did not match the caliber of the weapon used in the shooting.

As the focus shifted towards Jackson’s involvement in the incident, questions still lingered about who fired the fatal shot. Despite Jackson’s trial for weapon possession charges, crucial details about the events leading up to Davis’s death remain elusive. The lack of cooperation from witnesses has impeded the investigation, leaving Davis’s family in a state of uncertainty and longing for answers.

She fondly remembers Reginald as a compassionate soul who selflessly helped those in need, making a lasting impact on the community.
