4-Year-Old Alabama Girl’s Death Ruled Homicide; She Had Been Injured in Shooting & Car Crash That Killed Her Father

Alabama authorities have ruled the death of a 4-year-old girl, critically injured two years ago in a shooting that killed her father and injured her infant brother, was a homicide.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office made the ruling this week, AL.com reported.

Madison Grace Davis died on June 25, as CrimeOnline previously reported.  Her father, Demarkus Etwan Moss, Sr., was driving with his children along Arkadelphia Road in Birmingham at around 6 p.m. September 2, 2022, when a nearby car began firing into his vehicle, Birmingham police said.

Moss was hit by the gunfire but kept driving for about half a mile before crashing into another car.

Moss was dead at the scene, with Madison unresponsive in the vehicle. Police said Madison wasn’t shot but suffered serious injuries from the collision, although a GoFundMe for the family said she was shot. Her infant brother survived without serious injuries.

The girl was later released from the hospital but was readmitted due to complications and never regained the ability to talk or walk.

Police said Moss was targeted in the shooting, but no arrests have been made.

Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact Birmingham homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
