When officers arrived to check on the 1997 Dodge Intrepid, they found Stephen Dwayne Davis deceased from multiple gunshot wounds in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. Witnesses reported seeing the vehicle parked in that spot as early as 11:00pm the previous night and parked and running with the lights and windshield wipers on in that spot around 2:00am.
