William Franklin Davis Sr., 42, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was killed in a shooting on March 19, 2022, at the Baymont Ramada hotel at 1707 Owen Drive. He was pronounced dead at the scene after a confrontation between members of four rival motorcycle clubs — Hells Angels, Red Devils, Infamous Ryders, and La Familia — erupted into a deadly shootout that left three people dead and three others injured. Fayetteville police arrived just after 8:50 p.m. the night of the incident.

Authorities say the violence began earlier that day during an assault at an Exxon gas station at 1717 Owen Drive. Two men were later arrested on charges related to that gas-station assault: Dalton Emmanuel Laperriere, 26, of Clayton, charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and felony conspiracy, and Kerry Helms Lawing, 49, of Fayetteville, charged with the same offenses; Lawing was held on a $25,000 secured bond.

Davis is survived by his wife Crystalynn M. Davis; sons William Davis Jr. and Brevin N. Clapp; daughters Tori Lee, Stephanie Davis, Brittney Burhop, Alexis Howard, and Jessica Howard; his mother Helen Kilby; siblings William Monroe Davis, Roger Badger, Gladys Davis, Patty Davis, and Linda Speight; and three grandchildren, Mariea, Ryker, and Brantley. Does anyone have information about the events at the hotel or the earlier confrontation at the gas station?
