In Loving Memory of Davion

In Loving Memory of Davion

GENESEE TOWNSHIP, Michigan — With heavy hearts, the community mourns the loss of Davion, a 14-year-old boy whose life came to a heartbreaking end on August 14, 2026. His passing has left family, friends, neighbors, and all those who knew him facing a profound sense of grief and sadness.

According to the Genesee Township Police Department, officers were dispatched at approximately 9:15 p.m. Friday to a residence in the 700 block of Morgan Drive after receiving reports of a shooting. When officers arrived at the home, they discovered Davion deceased inside the residence.

At just 14 years old, Davion had so much of life still ahead of him. His death is a painful reminder of how quickly a family’s world can change and how deeply the loss of a young life can affect an entire community. Behind every investigation is a family now left to face the unimaginable pain of saying goodbye to a child.

During the investigation, police went to a nearby address where two subjects were taken into custody. Authorities have not released additional details about their identities or the circumstances surrounding the incident, as the investigation remains active.

Police have indicated that the incident appears to have been isolated and that there is currently no indication of an ongoing threat to the surrounding community. Investigators continue working to establish exactly what happened and to understand the circumstances that led to Davion’s death.

Several law enforcement agencies assisted with the response and investigation, including the Michigan State Police, Genesee County Sheriff’s Department, Genesee County Parks Police, Flint Police Department, Burton Police Department, and Davison Township Police Department.

As investigators continue their work, Davion’s loved ones are left to grieve a loss that no family should ever have to endure. The questions surrounding his death may take time to answer, but the pain of his absence is already deeply felt.

A young life has been taken far too soon. Davion should have had many more birthdays to celebrate, friendships to build, memories to make, dreams to pursue, and years to experience the world around him. Instead, those who loved him are now holding onto the memories they shared with him and mourning the future that will never come.

In moments like this, words can never fully express the depth of a family’s sorrow. The hope is that Davion will be remembered not simply for the circumstances surrounding his passing, but for the person he was and for the place he held in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

May Davion be remembered with love. May his family and friends find strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time. May the memories of his life continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

The Genesee Township Police Department has extended its condolences to Davion’s family and is asking anyone who may have information relevant to the investigation to come forward and speak with investigators.

As the investigation continues, the community is encouraged to respect the privacy of Davion’s loved ones as they navigate this devastating loss.

Rest peacefully, Davion. You were far too young to leave this world, and you will not be forgotten. May your memory remain a source of love, strength, and comfort to everyone whose life you touched.
