A domestic argument in a Park Hill home on Wilson Avenue in Louisville ended in fatal violence on February 26, 2014. During a late-night confrontation, 29-year-old Ollie Davis was shot once in the chest after his girlfriend, 33-year-old Candra McWhorter, retrieved a handgun from her teenage daughter’s room. Davis was taken to University Hospital and died shortly after midnight.

McWhorter told police she fired because Davis had threatened to kill her and she feared for her life, though she said he had not previously been physically violent toward her. She was initially charged with first-degree assault domestic violence; after Davis died, the charge was upgraded to murder. Her attorney later argued she acted in self-defense.

In December 2014 McWhorter pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless homicide and received a five-year probated sentence. Does anyone have information about Davis’s life in Park Hill or about the events that led up to that night?
