Dantrell Davis (b. 1985 – October 13, 1992) was an American 7-year-old boy from Chicago, Illinois, who was murdered in October 1992. Davis was walking to school with his mother in the Cabrini-Green housing projects when he was accidentally shot by Anthony Garrett, the member of a local street gang intending to shoot a rival. His death sparked an increased awareness to the extensive violence occurring in Chicago's inner-city projects, and led to the first street gang truce in Cabrini–Green, which lasted for three years. Garrett was convicted of first degree murder for Davis' death, and received a 100-year sentence.
