Michael Cory Davis, 34, of Westerville, Ohio, was fatally shot during an argument at a backyard gathering in Blendon Township on September 12, 2020. The shooting took place on Lima Drive when Davis and another man, 33-year-old Raphiel Le Mar Humphries, exchanged gunfire. Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds; Davis died the next day at Riverside Methodist Hospital.

Humphries was arrested the day after the shooting and charged with murder in connection with Davis’ death. The Blendon Township Police Department and crime scene agents from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation handled the investigation, which concluded that the argument and subsequent gunfire caused Davis’ death. The case proceeded in Franklin County Municipal Court.

Davis was remembered by family and friends as boisterous with a contagious laugh; he was a father, son, and friend who enjoyed fishing and gardening. Does anyone have information about the gathering on Lima Drive or knew Michael’s connections in Blendon Township?
