About this episode
Three years after CJ Davis’ murder, John Simpson interviews the lead detective working on the case, whose team continues to grapple with an impenetrable “code of silence”. Expert Craig Pinkney also takes us into the complex world of drill music to explore its connection to gang culture and, perhaps, to CJ’s death.
Corey Junior Davis was just 14 when he was shot dead on the afternoon of 4 September 2017. In this series, crime correspondent John Simpson exposes the systemic failings, rivalries and silence surrounding CJ’s killer.
