The brother of the councilman shot to death in City Hall last week will take his spot on the Democratic primary ballot.

Geoffrey Davis was selected to fill James Davis' spot by a committee headed by their mother, Thelma Davis, the committee announced Wednesday. Under state law, candidates name committees to select someone to take their place in the event of a vacancy during the campaign.

"For as long as I can remember, my brother stood for, worked for and fought for an end to violence in our local neighborhoods, and we cannot let the passing of his soul mean the passing of his dreams," Geoffrey Davis said Wednesday. ---
