'Gunz-Up' Gang Member Convicted of Murdering Teenage Girl
District Attorney Jan Scully announced that Javionne Flenory-Davis was convicted by jury for the first degree murder of Lanajah Dupree and the attempted murder of Chanderea Melson.
The jury also found true all firearm and gang allegations relating to both charges. On July 11, 2010, Flenory-Davis, a validated G-Mobb/Stick-up Starz gang member, attended an under age 18 club event on Auburn Blvd.
While at the club, he got into a brawl with several rival gangmembers believed to be connected to the Gunz-Up street gang. He ran to a nearby car, retrieved a 9mm handgun, went back to the area near the front of the club and fired six shots into the crowd of teenagers.
One bullet hit 14-year-old Lanajah Dupree in the chest and exited her back. A second bullet hit 16-year-old Chanderea Melson in the elbow and abdomen. Melson survived the attack, but Dupree died at the scene.
Sentencing is set for September 7, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. in Department 19 before the Honorable Patrick Marlette.
