Brother of Mahogany Davis fighting to keep her case alive 23 years after her murder in Fairbanks, Alaska
O.Z. Davis, Sr. remembers getting the news that May day in 2002. 'I was pre-commissioning the [USS] Ronald Reagan at the time,' he told Dateline, explaining that he was stationed in Virginia as a member of the U.S. Navy that year. 'It wasn't even an active aircraft carrier yet.' Word got around that officers were looking for him on the weekend of May 11. 'I knew a lot of people on my command. They were like, 'Hey, man — man, they looking for you,'' he remembered. 'I knew I wasn't in trouble. So I'm like, 'Why is everybody looking for me?'' On Monday, May 13, during morning muster, O.Z. was told to report to the commanding officer's wing. 'They gave me the news and they read off — they read the Red Cross message,' O.Z. said. 'They said, 'At Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, Mahogany Denise Davis was pronounced dead.'' 21-year-old Mahogany Davis. A mother of three. O.Z.'s sister. 'On May 11th, 2002 at approximately 0415 hours the Fairbanks Police responded to 1910 Turner St outside of apartment #15 for the report of a stabbing,' Fairbanks Police Department Public Information Officer Teal Soden wrote to Dateline in an email. Mahogany 'was transported by Fairbanks Fire Department EMS to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital and was pronounced deceased.' O.Z. remembers Mahogany as a fiercely protective older sister — a funny, outgoing girl who marched to the beat of her own drum. 'She was, like, always there to support me,' he said. 'She recorded all the basketball games that I played that my family couldn't be at.' According to O.Z., Mahogany had been attacked near the doorway of her Fairbanks, Alaska, apartment. Her three young sons, ages 4 to only 19 days, were inside at the time. O.Z. flew home to Fairbanks the day he found out his sister had been murdered. He was picked up at the airport by his other sister and Mahogany's best friend when he landed. 'They said, 'Where you want to go drop off your stuff?'' O.Z. recalled. 'I said, 'Nah, take me to the, you know, to the crime scene.' When O.Z. got to the apartment door, blood told the story. 'There was like a few small drops and then it just start going to big drops and then even bigger,' he remembered. 'I followed the blood all the way from her front door all the way to where she collapsed.' Mahogany collapsed in the parking lot outside the building, according to O.Z. She was later transported to the hospital in an ambulance where she was pronounced dead. Unable to process his emotions, looking at his sister's blood on the floor, O.Z. remembers feeling overwhelmed by anger and grief. 'I lost it,' he said. 'I'm just looking down at the ground, and I'm following it, and I'm just getting even more enraged and more enraged.' O.Z. says his sister's death affected the whole community. 'That rocked the city of Fairbanks when it happened, you know, and it — it affected a lot of people,' O.Z. said. 'Everybody's heart was broken when she was murdered.' Soon after her death, Mahogany's three children went to live with their great-aunt in Oakland, California. For 23 years, they — as well as the rest of Mahogany's family — have been living without answers. 'Someone knows exactly who did it — what, when, where, and why,' O.Z. said. 'I know that for sure.' No one has ever been arrested or charged in connection to the murder. Dateline requested an interview with the Fairbanks Police Department regarding Mahogany's case. 'After speaking with the lead detective on this case, we'd rather hold back on releasing any information at this time,' PIO Soden wrote in an email. 'When cases are still open there are sometimes reasons that we don't put info out to the public at certain times.' Soden noted that the Fairbanks Police Department 'may be able to reach out to [Dateline] in a few months' and provide information about the investigation. 'I understand why the police is like, 'We can't comment on the open case,'' O.Z. told Dateline. 'But how long is this open case gonna be an open case?' Twenty-three years after the murder, O.Z. is still hoping for justice for his sister. 'I'm willing to do whatever it takes to just get some answers and to get some closure,' he said. 'My life has changed so much and it's messed me up because I don't have answers for my nephews,' O.Z. said. 'They all look like different parts of my sister. They're all different pieces of my sister.' Mahogany's youngest son, Demetrius Fleming-Davis, was killed by a stray bullet in Oakland, California on April 10, 2021 — just weeks before his 19th birthday. The Oakland Police Department told Dateline that his case is still unsolved. Anyone with information about Demetrius's murder is asked to call the Oakland Police Department at 510-238-3821. O.Z. now keeps photos of Demetrius next to the photos of Mahogany in his home. 'It's a reminder to me. And it's like, don't forget me. Don't forget. Don't forget. Find out. There's clues,' he said. Anyone with information about Mahogany's murder should contact the Fairbanks Police Department at 907-450-6500.

How the first Monday in May has become New York's third fashion week
As guests rolled up to this year's Met Ball, the official opening of the step and repeat involved a gospel choir of Black men donning tailcoats performing on the museum's steps. With Anna Wintour, along with co-hosts Colman Domingo (wearing Maison Valentino), Lewis Hamilton (wearing Wales Bonner), Pharrell Williams (wearing Louis Vuitton), and A$AP Rocky (wearing diamond-encrusted Ray-Bans), watching in delight, the event may seem like a kickoff, but in reality, it's the culmination of a weekend full of events timed to capitalize on the flurry of excitement and A-list crowd that is in town for the big event. This year was no exception. But first, the fashion. Overall, it appeared that guests got the assignment. Diana Ross, who defined the contemporary diva, rolled up in a white marabou-trimmed gown with a train 18 feet long and a coordinating hat. Paying homage to the movie "Mahogany," Zendaya followed Ms. Ross in a tailored-to-perfection white suit and wide-brimmed hat. Gigi Hadid wore a gold Miu Miu dress inspired by a 1940s Harlem designer, Zelda Wynn Valdes, who made gowns in Washington Heights after working in her uncle's tailoring shop. Tyla wore a gown and makeup inspired by a Josephine Baker look. Rihanna arrived with hubby A$AP in a demure light blue knit top and skirt that looked like she didn't really feel up to partying. But apparently, that was because she planned to do a Cinderella moment and transform for the ball on-site. She later appeared in a custom Marc Jacobs pinstripe Dandy gown with a cropped suit jacket, looking even more pregnant than when she arrived. Madonna stole the scene in a white satin three-piece ensemble while brandishing a cigar as attendants fussed over her and she shushed the press pit. Doechii followed suit, but hers was a three-piece shorts suit by Louis Vuitton, and her cigar seemed bigger and bolder. Lizzo also took to brandishing a smoked accessory, dangling a cigarette in an ultra-long theater cigarette holder. With a feather in her cap and walking stick, Teyana Taylor slayed in a red Marc Jacobs ensemble with a cape and rosettes. André 3000 carried a piano on his back 'cuz you never know when the mood may strike. Cardi B was close to tripping up the stairs in green velvet if not for the handy team of PR professionals from KCD to catch her; another minty green style, also trendy, was on Serena Williams and custom-made in satin by Moncler. Lupita Nyong'o wore a mint green tailored Chanel suit with a chiffon cape and classic boater hat. Straight from hosting "SNL," "Abbott Elementary" creator and star Quinta Brunson was wearing Sergio Hudson and excited to see lesser-known Black designers like Hudson, Harbison Studio, and Christopher John Rogers get props on such a large platform. In a custom look from anOnlyChild, Sarah Snook was giving English upper-class realness in her topcoat-inspired look. Other stunners include Kendall Jenner 's gown by Maximilian Davis, which channeled a 1920s Harlem trend mixing African draping with tailoring. Alton Mason celebrated Dandy futurism, noting to The People Gallery that his favorite meal is lobster pasta. "Lupin" star Omar Sy, wearing Ozwald Boateng, told a French reporter in French that it seemed like a nice party but he wanted to taste the food first. Lana Del Rey was missing the Dandy mark but looked gorgeous. She lived up to her old Hollywood moniker in Maison Valentino and was on the arm of Alessandro Michele. Nicole Kidman had zero side boob in her Balenciaga backless dress; Shakira, with three men carrying her pink Atelier Prabal Gurung gown with an 8-foot train, announced another Met appearance, her world tour, which will kick off at MetLife Stadium in a few days. Anne Hathaway channeled more old-school UES fundraiser fit in a Carolina Herrera look that missed the Dandy mark. Bad Bunny, wearing a straw hat and leather satchel, was giving Huck Finn meets riverboat scoundrel. Luar designer edged himself and his date, the gorgeous Myha'la, a bit close to "Zoolander" territory rather than, say, Frederick Douglass or W.E.B. Du Bois. The other Kardashian donned an alligator ensemble with a hat, giving it a Dandy mood by her designer du jour, Chrome Hearts — a brand she solely deems back to relevance. Similarly, Miley Cyrus wore a cropped crocodile jacket and skirt ensemble, but her look read even less Dandy. Chappell Roan looked a bit out of place and salty in a pink sequin suit custom-made by "Wicked" costume designer Paul Tazewell with materials sourced from eBay. It channeled Elton John's Captain Fantastic more than Black Dandyism. Janelle Monáe said she was feeling "Dandelion-ess" with a clock monocle, dressing as a time traveler with a cinematic approach to redefining what it means to wear a suit with superfine tailoring that is timeless. "It's about understanding and breaking the rules," she told the salivating press pool. There was a bodysuit trend for women, some more favorable than others, made mainly by Vuitton. Blackpink singer and Thai actress Lisa stunned in her crystal-embellished jacket over a bodysuit and LV tights, while Pharrell Williams' wife, in a similar look, seemed downright uncomfortable. Sabrina Carpenter did it well in a burgundy style with military buttons. Doja Cat also donned a bodysuit look customized by Marc Jacobs, combining pinstripes and leopard. After the weekend of festivities, it's a wonder whether anyone had any energy left. Scotch whiskey brand Johnnie Walker tapped Balmain 's Olivier Rousteing to co-create limited edition custom blends alongside the brand's first female master blender, Emma Walker (no relation). The Johnnie Walker Vault x Olivier Rousteing Couture Expression event involved a customized experience space dubbed the Johnnie Walker Vault in the former Sleep No More venue. The room's focal point was an inverted prism that displayed a hologram show. While bespoke whiskey cocktails flowed freely, guests such as Lupita Nyong'o, Hunter Schafer, Stormzy, Regé-Jean Page, Nicky Hilton, and Darren Criss enjoyed a special tasting of the ultra-limited blend introduced by Rousteing and Walker. The French designer met Walker on a trip to Scotland and immediately connected creatively. "I thought fashion was complex, but creating a most incredible and unique blend was even more complicated. It was like a symphony. Let's speak the same language; I do shoulder pads, and you do blends, so let's create together with the same instruments. It is not only a collaboration but also celebrating timelessness, quality, uniqueness, and couture," Rousteing told the crowd while thanking Walker. He encouraged everyone to dance to DJ Oscar Nñ of Papi Juice. Meanwhile, that same night, Ferragamo hosted a traditional Italian dinner to celebrate Met Gala weekend and its creative director, Maximilian Davis. Drawing upon its history of dressing Hollywood stars, the VIP crowd included Chris Rock, Ayo Edebiri, Tracee Ellis Ross, Solange Knowles, Jeff and Emilie Goldblum, LaKeith Stanfield, Paloma Elsesser, and Stefon Diggs. Not to be outdone by another Italian downtown at Casa Cipriani in the Seaport, Remo Ruffini, Moncler, and Edward Enninful hosted a gathering to celebrate fashion and music at which Miley Cyrus gave guests such as Adut Akech, Colin Kaepernick, Stella Maxwell, Willow Smith, Ozwald Boateng, Helena Christensen, Joel Edgerton, Toni Garrn, Neelam Gill, Imaan Hammam, Anne Hathaway, Johannes Huebl, Heidi Klum, Daniel Lee, and Alton Mason a live debut of her new single "More to Lose" from her upcoming album "Something Beautiful."

As you probably know, the Met Gala is widely considered to be one of the biggest nights in fashion, with A-list celebrities often going all out to meet the theme and accompanying dress code, which changes every year. Jamie McCarthy / Getty Images This year's Met Gala took place on Monday night, and the celebs were out in force for the 'Tailored for You' dress code in association with the Met's Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme. And while not every attendee hits the mark with their outfit choices, one guest who regularly delivers is Zendaya, who you can always depend on to serve a Best Dressed look. Savion Washington / Getty Images Of course, Monday was no exception, and Zendaya wowed fans when she stepped onto the blue carpet in a white custom Louis Vuitton suit and hat, which seemingly paid homage to Diana Ross's look in the 1975 movie Mahogany. Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Related: 18 Times Celebs Spent An Embarrassing Amount Of Money On Something That Wound Up Totally Useless But things took a turn a little later in the evening, when actor Anna Sawai arrived wearing a very similar outfit.

Hello Beautiful / Via 'You know what, I really got it from the church, my grandmother and my grandfather really did…' Law began before trailing off and laughing to himself as he noted: 'I am dying coz she got on Zendaya's look.' Hello Beautiful / Via 'I'm so glad we came early,' he then added while looking visibly awkward and at a loss for words, with the video abruptly ending. Needless to say, fans were excited to see Law's response in real time, and they understood his disappointment in the moment. Commenting on the video, one person wrote: '😭😂 he pissed about his baby.'
