Eddie Davis, 64, of DeKalb, Texas, was fatally shot on August 8, 2014, during an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement after officers answered a disturbance call at his home. Officer Coleman was wounded in the incident but recovered and returned to duty.
Deputy Danny French and Officer Coleman were the primary responders named in reports; Deputy French later received a Medal of Valor and was praised by Sheriff James Prince for his actions that night. Local authorities investigated the shooting and treated the officers’ use of force as justified. No arrests or additional suspects were identified, and no murder charges were filed.
Are there details about the disturbance call or the timeline that anyone in DeKalb can add?
