Grandmother and reverend shot in Landover Home – NBC4 Washington

A grandmother and reverend was shot in a Landover house when they babysit their grandchildren at the weekend.

Family members told News4 The 54-year-old Rev. Leslie Yvette Davis had an overnight stay for Mother's Day for their four young grandchildren. Her daughters said when they came to the house on Saturday afternoon to pick up the children, two of the young child-6-year-old twins went around the house and said “Grandma had been killed”, and then the victim's daughters discovered their shot in their bedroom.

The other two young grandchildren were only 10 months and two years old. They were intact in the bedroom with their grandmother's body.

Davis' family said that due to the loss they are absolutely destroyed.

The police told them that someone wrongly thought of Davis' house and thought someone else lived there, but it is still not clear what happened, and no arrests were made.

Prince George's County's police authority said the investigation was not yet complete.

News4 spoke to Davis' daughter and mother about how they want people to remember them.

“Beautiful, friendly, loving, godly. It doesn't seem real,” said Davis' daughter. “I was not in my sleep. I can't eat. Every time I close my eyes, I only see my mother as I found her. If someone knows something outside, I only encourage people to comment.”

“Someone took my baby, born my first,” said Davis' mother. “I just don't know how to explain the injuries I feel, I really don't.”

The entire Davis family is extremely close. Davis' mother and grandmother are both alive, and then she had children and grandchildren, which is a total of five generations. They all live near each other and love to visit together and spend time together. The family announced News4 that they hope for answers injured and desperately.
