Kenosha mother demands justice, asks for community's help in son's death investigation

 

KENOSHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Months after a man was shot and killed, his family is making a plea for justice. They're asking for the community's help in finding answers for their loved one.

"We just want justice for him, because he didn't deserve what happened to him," said Yolanda McKenzie, Kenneth Davidson's mother.

Kenosha police say last year on June 14, around 9:20 p.m., they got a report of shots being fired. When they arrived on scene, along the 4700 block of 36th Avenue, they found 36-year-old Kenneth Davidson shot and unresponsive in a driveway.

"Moments before the shooting, Kenny was just watching a Celtics game," said Chief Patrick Patton, with the Kenosha Police Department, at a press conference Friday. "When the shooting happened, he was simply walking in the neighborhood with a friend. His death has impacted our entire community.

After months of searching for a suspect, McKenzie says she's uneasy the person who shot and killed her son hasn't been caught.

"It's kind of scary to know that person knows who we are, and we don’t know who they are," said McKenzie.

Davidson's family is demanding answers for the man they say was charming, funny and driven.

"My brother was special," said Charlie Davidson, Kenneth Davidson's brother. "He would give you the shirt off his back, you know what I mean? He was loyal to a lot of people."

A father, son and brother, McKenzie says Kenny was loved deeply by many. She says she wants closure for her son and family.

"We are heartbroken, and we are frustrated, and we just want answers," said McKenzie. "We want somebody, if they know anything, they can call anonymously and just let us know what happened. We know somebody out there knows what happened."

The Kenosha Police Department says this is an active homicide investigation and if anyone has any information, they should contact KPD at 262-605-5201. Your call can be anonymous.
