Marilyn Jean Davis, 25, of Asheville died on February 28, 2020. She was born May 30, 1994, in Hickory to Margaret Setzler Belcher and Kevin Donnell Davis. Marilyn was found dead in the living room of her boyfriend, Sean Phillip Wilson, in Woodfin, North Carolina, both victims of gunshot wounds to the head.

Police concluded that Sean shot Marilyn before turning the gun on himself. Sean was 36 at the time. The case was described within a pattern of domestic violence in Buncombe County: Wilson had prior history of abusive behavior and two other women had obtained domestic violence protective orders against him citing physical abuse and threats.

Reports after the deaths criticized gaps in the county’s domestic violence response, noting limited resources, incomplete implementation of the Buncombe County domestic violence plan, and the absence of a high-risk team recommended to identify and intervene in the most dangerous cases. Who has information about Marilyn, her movements, or the warnings about Sean that could help clarify what happened leading up to February 28, 2020?
