But according to residents the lawmen entered the premises and, without identifying themselves, kicked open the door to the house that Davis and his aunt occupied. The residents said Davis attempted to flee but the police accosted him and carried him to another house in the same yard where he was shot and killed.
"Dem kill him in cold blood," a female resident told The Gleaner on the scene.
