Leslie Dawn Belt, 43, was fatally shot at a residence on Ford Creek Road in Washington County on December 15, 2020. Described as a white female who loved her family, she was killed in Johnson City, Tennessee, in an event that prompted an immediate criminal response.

Authorities identified 47-year-old Ralph Eugene Davenport of Gray as the suspect and issued a warrant charging him with first-degree murder. Davenport, who was on federal supervised release and had a 1993 voluntary manslaughter conviction, fled the scene in a white 2001 Ford van. A manhunt followed and ended when Davenport led law enforcement on a high-speed chase and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head; investigators believe the same weapon was used in Belt’s killing.

Does anyone have information about Leslie’s last known movements or who might have been with her that day?
