Erica Davis, 38, was found dead from a gunshot wound inside a Dallas residence on February 1, 2023, at about 5:45 p.m. She was pronounced dead at the scene. A man present that evening, 63-year-old Donnie Moreland, initially told officers Davis had shot herself, but an autopsy by the Dallas County Medical Examiner on February 6 ruled the death a homicide. Detectives later concluded Moreland was responsible, and after a murder warrant was issued he surrendered and was taken into custody on February 7, 2023.

Davis, born June 22, 1984, in New Orleans, had lived in Dallas since 2005 and is survived by 11 children, her mother Lisa Davis, her father Otis McGhee and other relatives. Motive and detailed circumstances have not been publicly disclosed while the investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Joshua Romero at 214-671-4226 or [email protected].
