On the evening of August 2, 2015, 36-year-old Otha Deail Davis of Forkland, Alabama was shot and killed at a local convenience store. The shooting occurred during what would normally have been routine activity in a small-town setting and left the community reeling from a sudden loss of life.

Funeral services for Davis were held August 15, 2015, at Lloyd Chapel Baptist Church, and he was buried in the church cemetery. The case moved into the criminal system when a 19-year-old from Greene County surrendered and was charged with murder in connection with the shooting.

Anyone who was in Forkland on August 2, 2015 and saw activity near the convenience store, or who knew Davis and may have information relevant to the case, is asked to come forward.
