Kevin Davis did the right thing. On December 29, Kevin called 911 for
help. His girlfriend, April, had just been stabbed and the man who did
it, Terrance Hilyard, fled the scene. Within minutes, the family dog,
Tooter, and Kevin were each fatally shot by Dekalb County Police Officer
Joseph Pitts.
According to April:
Tooter ran out the door and she and Davis heard at least one
gunshot. A wounded Tooter came running back inside the apartment. At
this point, she and Davis were convinced that Hilyard had returned with a
gun. At this point, not even the police are trying to claim that JR
Pitts identified himself as a police officer, either before or
immediately after shooting Tooter without warning. The neighbors all
agree that police did not identify themselves until Davis was himself
shot and police backup had arrived to assist JR Pitts.
After a wounded Tooter ran inside, Davis approached the door to his
apartment with the gun in his hand. Before he exits the apartment, he
was shot by Pitts. April and her neighbors agree that it was only after
Davis was shot that Pitts said anything. His first words? "Drop your
weapon."
Instead of being hailed as a hero, Kevin, for the final two days of his life, was treated like a violent criminal and
charged with crimes he did not commit.
