Thomas Oliver Davis Jr., 30, was found shot the evening of December 9, 2022, near Baird Avenue and Wilmington Street in Canton Township, Pennsylvania. Emergency services were called to Washington County 911 at about 7:40 p.m.; Davis was taken to Washington Hospital and pronounced dead in the emergency room at 8:41 p.m. The cause of death was gunshot wounds and the Pennsylvania State Police have classified the death as a homicide.

No arrests have been announced in connection with the fatal shooting and no suspects have been publicly named. About eight hours before the killing, Davis was involved in an altercation in the city of Washington with 25-year-old Ethan Jaylee Hicks of Butler County, who allegedly pointed a handgun at Davis and tried to fire but the weapon malfunctioned. Hicks was arrested on charges including attempted homicide, aggravated assault and firearms violations and was ordered to stand trial; authorities have not said the two incidents are officially connected.

If anyone has information about Davis, his movements that evening, or either incident, please share what is known with investigators.
