- Five additional charges
He has not yet entered a plea. Davis reportedly told police he was “protecting himself.”
Eyewitness Account
Michael Hennessey, one of the men who witnessed the attack, told FOX 59, “At first, I thought it was just two kids messing around. Then, I looked closer and realized it was a guy dragging a girl down the road by her ankles.”

A GoFundMe has been created to support Raines’ three children. The organizer described her as a “beautiful soul… taken way far too soon.”
