April 17, 2025 - Texas. Xavier Davis, 32, Black, sentenced to death
Davis pleaded guilty to the 2021 killings of Donyavia Lagway, 29, Gregory Carhee, 35, and their 6-year-old daughter, Harmony Carhee.
On April 17 a jury returned with the verdict for Davis.
On June 30, 2021, officers with the Houston Police Department responded to a shooting call at about 10:30 p.m. in the 12100 block of Fondren near West Airport. Officers said they found a 6-year-old girl, her mother, and father in an apartment, shot to death. The couple’s 10-year-old daughter survived the shooting after she played dead and called her grandmother for help.
As an investigation into the case continued, investigators believe the shooting had been planned. According to court documents, a second suspect, Alexus Williams, had been involved in a relationship with the mother, Donyavia Lagway. Weeks after they broke up, Williams allegedly set the attack in motion by telling Davis there was cash in the apartment.
The couple’s little girl, who testified during the trial, told police Davis knocked on the door of their apartment before the rampage. She said Davis had a mask on and grabbed her 1-year-old brother by the hair and threw him before shooting her parents and sister.
During the investigation, homicide detectives were able to obtain phone records that revealed Williams’ role in the attack. He is also charged with 3 counts of capital murder and is scheduled for trial in May.
