Milwaukee Mother Seeks Justice Four Years After Son’s Fatal Hit-and-Run

Milwaukee, WI, August 27, 2026 —

Milwaukee, WI – Four years have passed since Xaiver Casanova Davis was killed in a tragic hit-and-run incident in Milwaukee, and his mother, Gloria Shaw, continues her persistent pursuit of answers and justice.

The fatal collision took place near the intersection of 6th Street and Juneau Avenue, an area proximate to the Fiserv Forum. According to reports, Davis was struck by a vehicle while he was in the crosswalk. The driver of the vehicle involved failed to stop at the scene and fled, leaving Davis with critical injuries from which he did not survive.

Authorities have been searching for the suspect vehicle, described as a distinctive black Ram 1500 TRX. This specific model and color have been identified as key descriptors in the ongoing investigation. However, the vehicle has not been recovered, and to date, no suspect has been identified by the Milwaukee Police Department.

For Gloria Shaw, the lack of definitive progress in the case has led to significant frustration. She has expressed disappointment regarding the pace of the investigation and the level of communication from law enforcement concerning the details and developments of her son’s case. The absence of leads means that the driver responsible for the incident remains at large.

The Milwaukee Police Department has not provided an update on the status of the investigation. Information regarding specific investigative steps taken, potential witnesses, or whether any surveillance footage from the area near 6th Street and Juneau Avenue has been reviewed was not immediately available. The case remains open, with authorities continuing to appeal for public assistance in identifying the driver or locating the suspect vehicle.
