In Memorial of Demetrius Fleming-Davis

Demetrius was an amazing young man. He was a brilliant, sweet, compassionate, hilarious, good kid with an infectious laugh.  He had a heart of gold and was loved by those he met. Demetrius could captivate a whole room with his smile. To know he is no longer with us is deeply painful, and the best way we can honor him is to carry his bright spirit with us wherever we go. 

Demetrius, a loved son, grandson, brother, friend, mentor and student, was tragically killed on April 10th by an act of gun violence when he and his friends were driving and suddenly caught in the middle of a shootout and Demetrius was killed by a stray bullet. 

Demetrius was a devoted family member and community member, who truly cared for others. In addition to taking college courses at BCC and working at the Dollar Tree, he was also an intern at Berkeley Youth Alternatives and an involved member of his church, Acts Full Gospel. 


Demetrius brought charm and laughter to each space he entered. Whether he was singing, dancing, or making jokes with his signature sly smile, Demetrius had a rare ability to lift people up and remind them of life's joy. 


Thank you for your support of Demetrius' family during this difficult time. We will miss him dearly, and anything you can provide is greatly appreciated. 


We owe a profound debt of gratitude to Demetrius for the beauty he shared with us each day. We love you, Demetrius, and may you rest in peace. 

We are starting a GoFundMe to help the family with any expenses that come up (any expenses outside of the funeral/burial costs) so that they can take the time they need to grieve, without worrying about raising any money or taking time off to grieve.

Funds will go to Demetrius' mom Angela Davis and the fundraiser is being coordinated by Briahn Badelle, former REALM High School staff who worked with Demetrius..
