In the summer of 2014, a family dispute in Montgomery, Alabama, escalated to a fatal conclusion, ending the life of 24-year-old Richard Davis. On Friday, June 20, 2014, an argument between Davis and his cousin, 30-year-old Davis Soles, turned violent. The altercation resulted in the shooting death of the younger man, leaving a family torn apart by the tragic event.
Following the shooting, Soles fled the scene, prompting an investigation by the Montgomery Police Department.
However, his time on the run was short-lived. Two days later, on Sunday evening, Soles voluntarily surrendered to the authorities. He was subsequently arrested and charged with the murder of his cousin. After his arrest, Soles was transported to the Montgomery County Detention Facility. A judge set his bond at $75,000.
The motive for the fatal argument has not been publicly detailed, with investigators only stating that the shooting stemmed from a dispute between the two relatives. Information regarding the specifics of the legal proceedings that followed, including details of a trial, conviction, and sentencing for Davis Soles, is not readily available in public records. Similarly, details regarding Richard Davis's ethnicity have not been made public.
