On the evening of May 27, 2015, 17-year-old Roy Dontel Davis Jr. was killed by a single gunshot to the head in the 1400 block of South Ann Street in Mobile, Alabama. Officers responded about 10:50 p.m.; Mobile Fire-Rescue personnel pronounced the teenager dead at the scene.

Mobile Police arrested 19-year-old Demarcus Perdue on May 31, 2015, in connection with the shooting, and homicide detectives continued to investigate the circumstances after his apprehension. Perdue later faced a separate 2016 carjacking in which prosecutors said he brandished a firearm at a Mobile County Sheriff’s deputy; he was sentenced in April 2019 to 25 years for the attempted murder of that deputy, to be served concurrently with a federal carjacking sentence. Public information about the final outcome of the homicide case for Roy Dontel Davis Jr. is not available.
