Hailey Jane Locklear-Davis, an 18-year-old from Lumberton, North Carolina, died on December 22, 2020. She was of Native American descent and was survived by her biological parents, Vernie Locklear and Tosha Allen, and her adopted parents, John Davis Jr. and Geraldine Davis. A graveside service was held January 6, 2021, at Shiloh Cemetery in St. Pauls, North Carolina.

The circumstances of Hailey’s death have been the subject of investigation and community discussion. It does note broader concerns about violent crime in the Lumberton area and mentions a separate triple-homicide case in which a Lumberton man, Dekota Ray Locklear, faced charges; that case is not presented as being connected to Hailey’s death.

If anyone knew Hailey or has information about what happened to her on or before December 22, 2020, please share what you know.
