Family of Kevin Davis Say 911 Audio Contradicts Police Claims
The family of a man police shot and killed after he called for help believes the audio of his 911 call backs up their belief he did not need to die.
The family of Kevin Davis says they always believed the officer was not telling the truth about what happened the night Davis was shot and killed.
The family met with the District Attorney and listened to the 911 call. Though it was difficult to listen to the gun shots on the tape, they say they are pleased that the investigation is ongoing.
It was in December when Davis called 911 to get help for his girlfriend, who had been stabbed by her roommate.
Once police arrived, they shot Davis’ dog and then shot Davis.
The officer says the dog attacked him and that Davis would not drop his gun. The family never believed that account and finally got a chance to listen to the 911 call themselves.
“As we sat there and listened to the entire tape, it was abundantly clear that Kevin Davis was never given enough time to respond to anything,” said attorney Mawuli Davis. “Once the dog was shot, within 30 seconds you hear the second round of shots.”
The incident remains under investigation.
