00:00It was May 10th, Mother's Day, in Muncie, Indiana.
00:04It should have been a quiet Sunday evening.
00:06But down one ordinary residential street, the silence was shattered by a woman's screams.
00:12Two men, Michael Hennessey and Jeremy McKee,
00:16were driving down the block in a pickup truck when they saw something impossible to ignore.
00:21At first, they thought it was just kids messing around.
00:24Then they realized the truth.
00:26A young man was violently dragging a girl down the concrete sidewalk by her ankles.
00:31The woman was 23-year-old Cheyenne Raines.
00:34And this wasn't the first time she had tried to run.
00:37Two days earlier, Cheyenne tried to leave her boyfriend, 21-year-old Ryland Davis.
00:43He refused to let her go, throwing her to the floor so hard her head struck a speaker.
00:49Now, on Mother's Day, she had tried to run again.
00:52She made it out the door, but Davis chased her down, beat her on the sidewalk, and began dragging her
00:59back to his house.
01:00Seeing a stranger in pure terror, Michael and Jeremy pulled over.
01:05They wanted to help.
01:06They wanted to be good Samaritans.
01:09Instead, they walked into a war zone.
01:11Without warning, Davis pulled out a handgun and opened fire on the truck.
01:16Michael later recalled the chaos, saying he jumped out, ducked behind the vehicle, and saw his co-worker Jeremy and
01:24Cheyenne both hit, lying on the ground.
01:26As Michael tried to turn, he felt a sudden, crushing impact, like being hit with a baseball bat.
01:33Michael was shot in the abdomen.
01:35Jeremy was shot in the head.
01:37But Davis wasn't done.
01:38In the middle of this shooting spree, with two strangers bleeding on the asphalt, Davis turned the weapon entirely on
01:45Cheyenne.
01:46In what prosecutors describe as a cold-blooded execution, he shot her multiple times in the face, chest, and back,
01:54before fleeing inside his home.
01:56First responders rushed to the scene, finding three gunshot victims scattered outside.
02:02Tragically, Cheyenne was pronounced dead at the hospital.
02:05Jeremy remained hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, while Michael survived his wounds.
02:12Police quickly surrounded the home, and after a tense standoff, Davis finally surrendered.
02:18But the horror wasn't over.
02:20When officers stepped inside the house, they made a devastating discovery.
02:25Locked away in a single room were three young children ages 3, 2, and just 3 months old.
02:31The room was in what police described as deplorable condition, covered in dirt and feces.
02:37While their mother was being murdered on the sidewalk, her children were trapped in a nightmare behind closed doors.
02:44Inside the interrogation room, Davis admitted to the shooting, but offered a twisted defense.
02:50He claimed the gun belonged to Cheyenne, and that he was only protecting himself, completely denying that he shot her
02:57intentionally.
02:58The justice system isn't buying it.
03:00The Delaware County Prosecutor's Office has charged Davis with a massive list of crimes, including murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, and
03:09neglect of a dependent.
03:11He is currently being held without bond.
03:14If convicted of the murder charge alone, he faces up to 65 years behind bars.
03:20A young mother is gone, two heroes are forever changed, and three children are left picking up the pieces, all
03:27because of one afternoon of uncontrollable rage.
