Staci Lee Davis, 43, was shot and killed at the Williamsburg Apartments off Gum Branch Road in Jacksonville, North Carolina, on the evening of March 7, 2026. Officers found her suffering from gunshot wounds just before 10:30 p.m.; she was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities determined the shooting arose from a domestic dispute.

Police identified and arrested her husband, 48-year-old Michael Davis Jr., who was charged with murder and made his first court appearance on March 9, 2026. Prosecutors noted a prior manslaughter arrest from 1997; the judge denied bond and ordered him held until further proceedings, with the next hearing set for March 23, 2026.

Davis was the director of youth and family services at the New River Onslow YMCA and served on the board of One Place. She was remembered as a devoted mother and an active community leader. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Staci and can help investigators?
