Arthur Anderson, a 31-year-old Black man, was found in the street in the 200 block of Rocklawn Avenue in Danville, Virginia, on May 14, 2018, with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Sovah Health Danville and later died of his injuries. Search warrants describe the incident as an altercation that occurred during a planned robbery.

Investigators identified a primary suspect, Diarion Davis. Davis’s wife told police that her husband and two other unnamed people had planned the robbery by phone, that she drove her SUV to Rocklawn Avenue, witnessed an altercation there, saw her husband fire a revolver, and then drove away. Davis fled to Greensboro, North Carolina, where an attempt to arrest him about 13 hours after the shooting resulted in an officer-involved shooting; he was injured, taken into custody, and returned to Danville to face charges.

A Danville grand jury indicted Davis on first-degree murder, use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a violent convicted felon. In June 2019 he was convicted of Arthur Anderson’s murder and received concurrent prison terms that total 33 years after accounting for a suspended portion of the murder sentence.
