According to police, the man fatally shot last night inside his home was Jack Davis Jr., 76. The shooting occurred at Davis’ home located on Springfield Highway/Hwy 41 near Williamson Rd (Map location of shooting) during an apparent robbery.

The preliminary investigation indicates that two masked gunmen entered Davis’ house in the 1100 block of Springfield Highway and demanded money from the victims prior to shots being fired.

Have there been any leads or any suspects been identified?
If you could see the outcome after death.
Those sentimental folks who say away with death row, need a kick in the pants. How would you feel if it was you these guys shot, what would you say, forgive them and let them keep killing, or will you forgive them an allow the law to execute them? who know your husband or children might me next. I say execute and let God judge them.
Honey, I heard uneducated people are smart at stealing.
This is why EVERY law abiding family out there should have shatter-proof security doors and windows and several home defense firearms as wel as one on their person wen out and about. I’m struggling, i’m broke, but I could never imagine doing anything like this! No excuse… I hope they use that shiny brand spankin new gas chamber on the garbage that did this.
