Gervonta Davis is offering to pay for the funeral of a 21-year-old woman killed in a shooting in Baltimore one week before his stoppage of Yuriorkis Gamboa on Saturday night in Atlanta.
Davis, a Baltimore native, learned of the fatal shooting Thursday. Destiny Harrison was killed when an unidentified assailant walked into her hair salon, Madam D Beauty Bar, and opened fire on Dec. 21.
Davis reacted to the news on Twitter, saying: “If I can do anything like pay for the funeral or anything like that …”
Later Thursday, Davis posted on his Instagram page that he would pay for the funeral. The post included a picture of Harrison with angel wings. It said: “MAY YOU REST IN PEACE … FUNERAL PAID FOR.”
Davis trainer Calvin Ford confirmed the tweet and post Friday morning, telling Baltimore television station WJZ-CBS that Davis was touched by the sad news.
