January 2nd 2024.
It is with deep sadness that we report a tragedy that occurred on December 30th in Sacramento. A 10-year-old boy, Arkete Davis' son, was taken into custody after he fatally shot another 10-year-old boy with his father's gun.
The incident began when the son went to the car to get cigarettes and found the gun inside. Witnesses stated that he then bragged that his father had a gun. He ended up shooting the victim and then ran into an apartment. The gun was found in a nearby trashcan, leading to the suspicion that Davis attempted to throw it away.
When law enforcement arrived, the victim was bleeding from his head and neck. They performed CPR before the Sacramento Metro Fire Department arrived and took him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The victim has been identified as Keith “KJ” Frierson.
Davis and two other children were retained after witnesses pointed to where they ran. Davis is legally prohibited from owning or possessing a gun; the gun used in the incident was reported stolen in 2017. Davis' son was taken to the Sacramento County Youth Detention Facility and charged with murder. Davis was arrested and then transported to the Sacramento County Main Jail. He was charged with multiple felony firearm-related charges, as well as child endangerment and accessory after the fact. He is still in custody and is being held on $500,000 bail and he will appear in court on January 3rd.
A GoFundMe, “In memory of Keith KJ Frierson,” has been set up by his godmother, Nina Trepagnier. This tragedy serves as a reminder of the importance of gun safety measures. Our hearts go out to the family of Keith KJ Frierson.
