Dorelle Dawn Davis, a 39-year-old woman from Jacksonville, Florida, was tragically found dead on July 13, 2016, with a gunshot wound to the head. The investigation revealed that she had been killed on July 8, 2016. Davis, who was living with her boyfriend Percy Allen Stucks Jr., had been involved in an argument with him on the day of her death. The argument escalated, leading Stucks to shoot Davis in the head.
Following the incident, Stucks fled to Pensacola, Florida, before returning to Jacksonville to clean the crime scene and dispose of Davis's body. Her body was discovered in a field in the Grand Park area of Jacksonville after Stucks provided the location to the police.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office conducted a thorough investigation, which included obtaining a search warrant for the room Stucks rented. They found blood inside the room and evidence that someone had attempted to clean it. The police also discovered bloody footprints and blood drops leading from the room to the front porch. Stucks was located at a motel in Richmond Hills, Georgia, where he was taken into custody. He admitted to the shooting during questioning and was subsequently charged with murder and tampering with evidence. The Medical Examiner's Office ruled Davis's death as a homicide.
Stucks was transported back to Duval County, Florida, where he faced charges of murder and tampering with evidence. The case highlighted the severity of domestic violence and the tragic consequences it can have. The investigation and subsequent arrest of Stucks brought some measure of justice for Dorelle Dawn Davis, but her death remains a poignant reminder of the dangers of domestic disputes escalating to violence.
