Davis, a former Marine who served in Iraq, reportedly became drunk and violent later that night at Arrendale's home.

She tried to defend herself with a baseball bat, but Davis allegedly hit her with it while she was holding their daughter, Cobie. The baby suffered a traumatic head injury that the family says may have come from Davis swinging the bat.

Arrendale then tried to get away from Davis by locking herself in the bathroom with her baby, reported WSB-TV.

Davis grabbed his assault rifle outfitted with a suppressor, broke into the bathroom and shot the mother of his child in the head.

From the pics of the baby, it looks like the father is black. So at least the National media wont use it as a story for gun control.

wow....the baby was in the toilet for 13 hours.


When authorities arrived, they were not able to contact anyone in the home, so they were cautious about rushing into the house.

The baby was rescued from the toilet 13 hours later.

From another article. It looks like there was a custody battle and a standoff with police:

"A former marine shot and killed his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself after a standoff in an Atlanta suburb with SWAT officers that lasted 12 hours, police say."

He killed himself

Police said after shooting Arrendale, Davis went to the baby's room and took his own life.

Not for the victims.  However, the shoddy shape of journalism in the country should matter to all of us.

Custody battle and dealing with family court is my bet.


"The two daughters Davis has from a previous marriage were also at home at the time. Davis's ex-wife, Tamaira Chesley, reports that there was a custody dispute over the five-month-old"

I think it had to do with an asshole.  Reports were that he'd beaten on her in the past.  

Maybe she finally realized the baby was worth protecting and attempted to leave.  Damn shame it was apparently too late.

From the story, "and the daughter heard Arrendale screaming and then a 'boom.'"






Also, "I'm not sure where his
depression came from,' Chesley says, but says there was a custody battle
over the five-month-old daughter."





Like someone in another thread said a few days ago, "Monsters walk among us."

MABLETON (KRON) — A suburban Atlanta woman who was shot and killed is
being hailed as a hero after officers discovered her lifeless body
slumped over a toilet protecting her 6-month-old baby.









Smyrna police spokesman Chris Graeff says 33-year-old Jessica
Arrendale and 30-year-old Antoine Davis were found with gunshot wounds
to their heads Sunday afternoon. Graeff says Davis’ wound was
self-inflicted.









According to a report by local station WSB,
Arrendale locked herself and her daughter Cobie in the bathroom.  Davis
got his assault rifle then burst into the bathroom and shot Arrendale
in the head.









"He shot her and they (police) don’t know how she was able to twist
her body and fall literally in the opposite direction,” Jessica’s
mother, Teresa Inniello, told WSB. Instead of falling onto the floor,
Ionniello said her daughter fell over the toilet, dropping her little
daughter into the water-filled bowl.









The baby remained in the toilet, covered by Arrendale’s body, for
13-hours before officers finally rescued her.  The baby was taken to a
local hospital and treated for hypothermia. Cobie is in the custody of
the Division of Children and Family Services.









Family members believe Davis intended to kill both Arrendale and
their daughter, but since he was unable to see the baby inside the
toilet bowl, he left the bathroom.









Police said a call early Sunday morning about a person who was armed
with a gun at the house prompted a 14-hour SWAT standoff that included
the Cobb County Sheriff’s Department, Cobb County police and Paulding
County sheriff’s officials.
