In April of 2015, the life of 38-year-old Michael Swafford was cut short in a fatal shooting that occurred in his hometown of Cleveland, Tennessee. On Tuesday, April 14th, police were called to a residence on Goode Street where they discovered Swafford deceased inside the home. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound. Swafford, who was born in Virginia, had been a lifelong resident of Cleveland.
Around the same time that Swafford's body was found, officers responded to a nearby car
accident. The driver of the vehicle involved in the crash was identified as 43-year-old Sean Angelo Davenport, who also lived at the Goode Street residence where the shooting took place. A subsequent search of Davenport's vehicle uncovered a gun.
Following the discovery of the weapon and his connection to the scene of the crime, Sean Angelo Davenport was taken into custody. He was subsequently charged with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of Michael Swafford. Davenport was then booked into the Bradley County Jail.
