Jordan Davis, the black son of two Delta Airline employees, was gunned down before dozens of panicked onlookers at a crowded Jacksonville retail plaza on Black Friday. His killer, a white, hate-spewing loner named Michael David Dunn, calmly opened fire, at point-blank range, on the red SUV in which Jordan and three friends, all well-raised, bright teens, were sitting and listening to rap artist Chief Keef. Hit the jump to learn more about this sad situation.
Listening to Hip Hop Music was reason enough for Dunn to roll down his window and pick a fight. By the time Dunn stopped shooting and sped away down I95, Jordan Davis was bleeding out in the back seat of the Dodge Durango. His death, at 17, punched a hole in the community, and shattered the lives of his parents and the boys in that car.
Dunn claimed days later that he saw the barrel of a shotgun leveled at him from their window. The State will rely on the statements of multiple eyewitnesses and Dunn’s incriminating remarks to his girlfriend, Rhonda Rouer, who was in the car beside him and has agreed to testify for the state.
Some cases don´t receive as much attention as others but it´s important for you to know what is going on. Educate yourself on Jordan Davis. Have your voice heard on the Trayvon Martin situation. It is now more important than ever that we rally for equality.
