On the evening of November 6, 2019, police found 49-year-old Tamra Davidson dead inside a two-family home on Washington Street in Easton, Massachusetts. Davidson, a White woman from Plymouth, had sustained an apparent gunshot wound; investigators from the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office treated the death as suspicious and processed the scene for about 13 hours.

The homeowner and Davidson’s employer, 51-year-old electrical contractor Francis Averill, was arrested in connection with her death. Averill initially told investigators Davidson had accidentally shot herself while he was asleep, but prosecutors presented evidence challenging that account. They said the wound’s angle did not fit a self-inflicted injury, that both were intoxicated, and that gunshot residue was found on Averill’s clothing. Prosecutors allege Averill’s reckless possession of the firearm caused the discharge. In December 2020 Averill was arraigned on manslaughter and two counts of improper storage of a firearm and pleaded not guilty; he was released on $5,000 bail.

Did anyone in the area know Tamra Davidson, her work with Averill, or have information about the night of November 6, 2019?
