The Cincinnati Police Department has made a second arrest in connection with the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Anthony Davis. Derrick Terry, 18, was apprehended on Wednesday by the Dayton Police Department. This development follows the previous arrest of Destiny Newman on February 12 for her alleged involvement in the shooting that occurred on February 4 in Hartwell. There, on Burns Avenue, Davis suffered a gunshot wound, which ultimately led to a crash and his death, as reported by FOX19.
Terry, now charged with murder, was found by police and taken into custody, with detectives stating Newman and other unidentified suspects had robbed Davis and shot him while he was behind the wheel, causing his eventual crash and demise. As Local 12 reports, the suspects allegedly fled after the shooting.
The incident had its beginnings at a Speedway gas station on East Galbraith Road before reaching its calamitous endpoint a minute later on Burns Avenue. The initial call to police came at 2 p.m. When first responders arrived, they discovered Davis grievously injured from a gunshot. He was rushed to UC Medical Center, but unfortunately, he later succumbed to his injuries, detailed by FOX19.
Additional context was provided by court documents, which suggest that a drug transaction gone awry could have motivated the deadly encounter. Newman, Terry, and potentially others are said to have met Davis under the guise of purchasing marijuana. However, the meeting took a grave turn, ending in theft and gunfire, with Newman also charged with murder. WLWT adds that while Terry is accused of shooting Davis, the Cincinnati Police Department's investigation is still active and ongoing, and they bear the heavy responsibility to sift through the aftermath in search of justice.
