Sadie Theone Davis, known as Theone Davis, was a longtime Huntington Park resident and local performer who was born January 8, 1907, in Salt Lake City and moved to Los Angeles in the 1920s. A talented singer who performed on local radio, she and her husband Ted Davis were prominent in their community.

On August 5, 1971, Theone Davis was found in her home at 2975 Saturn Street, Huntington Park, having been beaten, strangled, and shot to death. Law enforcement collected evidence and re-examined items over the years, but no arrests have been announced and no suspects are officially identified. Her granddaughter Janelle Frese has worked to keep the case in the public eye and to push for further investigation and testing of old evidence.

Theone’s family and the Huntington Park community continue to feel the loss of a well-known local figure. If anyone has information about Theone Davis or her death, please come forward.
