Faith Davis was 17 when she was killed on July 23, 1993, in East St. Louis, Illinois. Her death was one of a series attributed to Lorenzo Fayne, who later confessed to her murder.

Investigators linked Fayne to the scene; the narrative notes a trail of blood from the house to his grandmother’s home was among the evidence connecting him to the crime. Fayne, then later arrested at age 24, was charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder in a string of attacks on children and teenagers in the Metro-East area. His offenses reportedly involved sexual assault and violent methods such as stabbing or strangulation.

The broader prosecutions produced at least one first-degree murder conviction and a life sentence without parole in the case of Aree Hunt; the prosecution sought death in other matters but did not obtain a unanimous jury decision. If anyone knew Faith or has information about what happened in East St. Louis in July 1993, please share what can help the record.
