Stephen Davis, 60, died on October 12, 2015, after a hunting trip in the Murray, Idaho area. Davis, who lived in Florida and also kept a residence in Murray, had finished hunting and was on the back steps of a Prichard Creek Road residence removing his shoes while still wearing a .44 magnum revolver in a shoulder holster. A single shot was fired; companions found him with a fatal chest wound and his revolver on the ground.

Bystanders performed first aid and emergency personnel responded, but Davis was pronounced dead at the scene. The Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office investigated and, based on witness statements and the evidence, Sheriff Mitch Alexander ruled the shooting an accidental discharge. No suspects or arrests were reported.

If anyone was with Stephen that evening or has information about what happened on the Prichard Creek Road property, please share what is known.
