Family seeks justice for teen killed outside Michigan State Fair

Mother calls for justice after her teen son is shot and killed outside Michigan State Fair 02:52

(CBS DETROIT) – The mother of 14-year-old Darean Davis is pleading for answers after her son was shot and killed outside of the Michigan State Fair in Novi Saturday night.

Darean, a sophomore at University High School in Ferndale, was shot and killed in the Suburban Collection Showplace parking lot outside of the Michigan State Fair around 9:56 p.m. Saturday. A 14-year-old friend of Darean’s was also shot. He remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Novi police say the shooting stemmed from an argument that occurred throughout last week in other communities and carried over to their arrival at the fair’s parking lot Saturday.

A suspect has not yet been identified.

“We want somebody to speak up because there was a lot of people there, and from my understanding, people were recording, so somebody knows something,” said Verteya Gilbert, Darean’s mother. “It’s not going to bring my son back, but it will bring me just a little bit of comfort.”
