Which article? On Josephus Davis? This was massive news in our city, Davis shot a dogwalker after robbing him.
The particulars on Mr. Davis:
He was released on reduced bail (300k->20k) for armed kidnapping the month before. He was also released after carjacking a rideshare driver the year before.
This is not a nice person.
