Original Story

MOBILE COUNTY, Ala. (WKRG) — The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office disclosed that LaDerick Davis, a suspect in an April homicide in Prichard, has been detained in Cobb County, Ga.

Following a report of a homicide on Telegraph Road, officers from the Prichard Police Department and MCSO’s Crime Scene Unit rushed to the scene on a Saturday.

Upon arrival, law enforcement discovered a gray Ford Edge containing Donte Evans, who had succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds.

Reports indicated that three other individuals were present in the vehicle with Evans during the shooting. Unfortunately, one of them sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was rushed to a nearby hospital.

Assuming control of the case from the Prichard Police Department on April 30, MCSO obtained surveillance footage from the location where the crime occurred on May 15.

Further investigations led detectives to identify Robert McMillian, also known as “Luh Mista,” and LaDerick Davis, known as “ESPN 20,” as the prime suspects in the homicide.

Warrants were issued for felony murder and first-degree assault against both McMillian and Davis on May 17.

Subsequently, on May 21, authorities in Cobb County notified MCSO of Davis’ custody. Reports suggested that three other individuals were inside the vehicle with Davis upon his arrest, but all managed to flee and evade capture.

During a search of the vehicle, authorities discovered two firearms. Davis is currently awaiting extradition to Mobile Metro Jail to face charges of murder and assault.

Meanwhile, MCSO’s search for McMillian remains ongoing.

Individuals with any information regarding this case are urged to contact MCSO at 251-574-8633.
