Jacqueline Davis, 35, was found dead in her Rawls Springs home near Hattiesburg, Mississippi, on the night of November 2, 2018. Deputies responded to a report of a shooting; an autopsy later confirmed she died of a gunshot wound to the head. She had been living with her two children and her boyfriend of six years, 32-year-old Robert Anthony Maye.

Earlier the same day Davis told a coworker at the Shoney’s where she worked that she was afraid of Maye. When deputies entered the home they found Maye with Davis’s body in his lap and arrested him. Maye’s stepbrother, Lee Thompson, was also at the residence; one of Davis’s children testified that Maye asked Thompson for a gun, followed by Davis’s frightened voice and a gunshot. Thompson later admitted being present and testified against Maye as part of a plea agreement. Gunshot residue was found on Maye’s hands.

Maye was charged with first-degree murder, convicted by a jury and sentenced to life in prison. The conviction was later affirmed on appeal. Did anyone in the Rawls Springs community know more about Davis’s relationship with Maye or what happened that night?
