He had just completed sixth grade at Kramer Middle School, according to a spokesman for D.C. Public Schools.

Davon McNeal was learning how to play football

The 11-year-old missed playing football during the coronavirus pandemic. When his coach Kevin McGill called last month to tell him that the city was easing restrictions and he could start participating in some light practices, Davon was initially distracted by his favorite video game, Fortnite.
But when he realized he could really leave his home and start conditioning with some of his teammates, he called his coach back.
McNeal organized a cookhouse outside of Cedar Gardens apartment complex on Saturday to increase community confidence. Family members said he and his family left the neighborhood about a year ago.
Davon accompanied McNeal to the party injured after 9 o’clock. His father’s grandfather said that when the five men started shooting at the 1400 block of Cedar Street SE, according to the police, the youth were immersed in a relative’s home.
Davon was shot in the head with a bullet and soon died in the hospital.
“He was the person who helped the community,” said Davon’s grandfather John Ayala McNeal. “He was preparing a community love to stop violence and his own son was killed.”
ohn Ayala, who identified himself as McNeal’s grandfather posted about the 11-year-old on Facebook. He said McNeal had played football for years, and “all he talked about was getting in the NFL.”
Ayala said that McNeal was on his way to a cookout and stopped at his aunt’s house to get a phone charger.
Kevin McGill, McNeal’s football coach, told the Washington Post that McNeal “was on another level when he was on the field.”
“We just had a real genuine kid who wanted to get out of the neighborhood. That’s all he said is, ‘I’m gonna make it,’” McGill told the Post, “These kids’ lives are being robbed over nothing.”
MPD is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. Anyone with information can call 202-727-9099 or text 50411.

D.C. officials have blamed recent upward trends in killings on the presence of illegal guns and pledged to step up efforts to recover these weapons, including untraceable “ghost guns.”
In a video of Newsham addressing reporters at the scene of the shooting Saturday night, fireworks are seen bursting in the distance and people off-camera can be heard shouting that police cannot save lives. At one point someone says, “All these damn police officers and y’all can’t save lives.”
The D.C. chapter of Black Lives Matter also tweeted about the shooting, saying it was evidence the department should be defunded. In response to a tweet from the D.C. police union, the group wrote: Your $533M budget should be DEFUNDED BECAUSE YOU CANT KEEP US OR OUR FAMILIES SAFE! @DCPoliceDept was around when this happened, as usual.”
