A dice game on Main Street in Osceola, Arkansas, turned deadly late on August 10, 2020. After briefly entering the crowded house, Davis and Freeman went to their vehicle; Davis and Poole then, with faces masked, searched Demetrius Crawley’s unoccupied car. When Crawley and another person walked toward Crawley’s car as Freeman began to drive away, Freeman reversed his vehicle parallel to Crawley’s car. Roderick Hale and Dennis Davis then allegedly stepped out, produced firearms, and opened fire. Crawley, 20, was struck in the head, taken to a local hospital, and died on August 11, 2020. Hale and Davis re-entered Freeman’s car and fled the scene.

The subsequent prosecution named Dennis Davis Jr., 19 at the time, and after a three-day trial a Mississippi County jury found him guilty of first-degree murder with a gun enhancement and breaking or entering; the court followed the jury’s recommendation for sentencing. Is there anyone who was at the gathering that night who can add details about what happened before the shooting?
