Devon Davis Obituary, Death; – A 21-year-old motorcyclist tragically lost his life in an accident on Milwaukee’s Hoan Bridge on Sunday night, despite the intervention of several Good Samaritans, including a medical professional who stopped to assist.
The victim has been identified by family members as Devon Davis, who was a father.
Caesar Banks, a medical worker and fellow motorcycle enthusiast, was en route to a night shift when he encountered the crash scene shortly after 9 p.m. “You see the young man lying there, at that point I pulled my car up, I see his bike, I pulled over to the side, jumped out. I keep gloves in my car cause – you never know,” Banks recounted.
Banks, along with two other medical professionals who were passing by, performed CPR and applied a tourniquet.
“He blinked. That’s when I said ‘Hey, we have to roll him over.’ And that’s when deputies said, ‘Do everything you guys can,'” Banks explained. Despite their attempts, Davis was declared dead at the scene just before 10 p.m.
The investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing. Banks expressed his emotions regarding the incident, highlighting the camaraderie among motorcycle riders.
“It’s hard cause one day that could be me on my bike, somebody could be doing this,” Banks reflected. “It’s gonna tear me up cause we try to make it back to a family and our kids every day, in this society, it’s hard, and for a brother not to make it back home, it’s hard, and knowing he’s a father like me, with a baby. It’s hard.”
A vigil to honor Davis is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday night at Bender Park in Oak Creek. “If you see a biker brother, help a biker brother, we never abandon or leave a biker brother. No matter the circumstances, we are bikers for life,” Banks stated.
