About this episode
We meet CJ Davis’s mother Keisha McLeod and hear about the promising early years and the struggles of a young boy who, in his final 18 months, was sucked into an underworld of drug deals and gang crime.
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.
