Sergeant Davis was shot and killed at 2300 hours as he and another deputy attempted to serve a narcotics warrant on a man for selling crack cocaine.

When the deputies kicked the door in the man opened fire, striking Sergeant Davis in the side, in between the panels of his vest. The suspect was also killed when the deputies returned fire.
