Mom marks 1 year since fatal hit-and-run crash
A Milwaukee mother is asking for help to solve a hit-and-run crash that killed her son near Fiserv Forum.
MILWAUKEE – Monday, Aug. 28 will mark one year since a 23-year-old man was killed in a hit-and-run crash near Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
“I never thought that he wouldn’t be here. Never,” said Gloria Shaw, Xaiver Davis’ mother.
Shaw said this past year has been nothing short of unthinkable.
“He was my world, and then my world left,” Shaw said.
On Aug. 28, 2022, Shaw’s son, Xaiver Davis was killed while crossing the street near Fiserv Forum.
“He would’ve done anything for anybody, because that’s the type of guy he was,” Shaw said.

“At 1:50 a.m., it will be 365 days without him,” Shaw said.
A year without Xaiver and a year without answers.
“I need more closure. Because, who, who you see siting here, is who Xaiver saw every day,” Shaw said.

As of now, no one has been charged for Davis’ death. But Shaw said she will not stop fighting until they find the person responsible for taking her only son. In fact, Shaw said she met with Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman a few weeks ago, and keeps her Facebook open for tips.
“Until I don’t have any more breath left in my body, it’s always going to be justice for Xaiver,” Shaw said. “You were a coward, and here I am still waiting.”
Police say photos show the truck that hit Davis. It is a black 2021-2022 Dodge Ram.
