JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Monday marks three years since 17-year-old Jordan Davis was killed at a Southside gas station.
Jordan and three friends were parked in front of the gas station when an argument over loud music ensued with Michael Dunn. Dunn fired 10 shots into the teen's SUV, killing Jordan.
After two trials, Dunn was convicted of murder.
"I never thought on Black Friday 2012, the last time that I hugged my son, when I said 'goodbye, have a good time tonight,' those are hollow words because I never saw him alive again," Jordan's father, Ron Davis, said.
Davis said the shooting is something he still thinks about every day, something he said didn't need to happen. He said that over the last three years, he hasn't seen much of a change in society.
"His story is still relevant today. All that's happening today, that we still have killings of unarmed people, killings of kids all across the country. We haven't progressed that much in the last three years."
Davis has done a lot of work since his son's death to try to promote peace in the community. A documentary, "3½ Minutes, 10 Bullets," was filmed about the shooting and both trials of Michael Dunn. That film will air on HBO at 9 p.m. Monday. It has already been shown in private screenings across the world.
"We work with so many families across the nation, and we know that some have not gotten justice, and some will never do it justice. Some just haven't gotten justice yet," Davis said. "When they see this, somebody did get justice of first-degree murder, life in prison with no chance of parole, I think that their eyes are going to be filled with water."
Davis said that he is hopeful that people who see the film will be able to take something positive away from it, that they can make a change in either their life or the life of someone else.
"When you see the grief and the court cases that come up and what the families have to go through just to get some justice for their child maybe you'll hesitate in pulling the trigger, maybe you'll understand the value of life whether it's black, brown or white children," Davis said. "You'll have a different value in your head that you're affecting the community, you're affecting their friends and you're also affecting their family."
Davis appeared on "The View" Monday morning to talk about the documentary. Monday night, he will be back in Jacksonville, watching the film with friends and family.
