A quiet Sunday evening in La Vergne, Tennessee, was shattered by violence on October 16, 2022, leading to the death of 37-year-old Robin Diane Marie Taylor. La Vergne Police officers were dispatched to a residence on Almondwood Place around 11:00 p.m. following reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Robin unresponsive. She was quickly transported to Stonecrest Medical Center, but tragically, she was pronounced dead.
The investigation into the female's death swiftly
identified a suspect, leading to an arrest in what authorities described as a domestic incident. The suspect was named as 25-year-old Kandis Davis, Robin's own sister. Davis was taken into custody without incident and booked at the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office. The tragic nature of the event was amplified by the close familial relationship between the victim and the alleged perpetrator.
Initially, Kandis Davis faced charges of second-degree murder and possession of a firearm during a dangerous felony, with a bond set at $754,000. However, as the legal process unfolded, the case was presented to a Rutherford County Grand Jury. The charges against Davis were subsequently upgraded to first-degree murder and carrying a weapon with the intent to employ an offense. Court records indicate an arraignment was scheduled for April 15, 2024, with a plea date set for May 22, 2024. Robin, who was a wife and mother, was remembered in her obituary as an entrepreneur who hosted a podcast and was considered the glue that held her family together.
