What if it was your child that was murdered? read one sign. This could happen to your son or daughter, read another.
Cars driving by the Johnson County Courthouse honked in support, while some rolled down their windows to discuss what happened. People walking by stopped to talk, too. Mind if I ask what happened? No, please ask . thanks for asking.
That s when loved ones detailed the painful account of losing Davis nearly six months ago. The Bargersville teen was found fatally shot in the Foxberry Trace subdivision of Greenwood on Oct. 31. He touched a lot of people, really, for being 15 years old. He had a good heart, said Kenny Poole, his grandfather.
