Police Charge Ex-Boyfriend With Murder Of Missing Teen

Apr 14, 2011 9:45 AM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Metro Police have charged the ex-boyfriend of a missing teenager found dead last month in North Nashville with her murder.
19-year-old Jose Hall is charged with the
murder of 18-year-old Kendrya Davis. Davis went missing on March 30, and
her body was found in an abandoned home less than a week later.
Hall was Davis' ex-boyfriend, and also
believed to have gang ties. Police said Davis and Hall had fought the
day she went missing, and returned home with a black eye. She later left
again, presumably to meet Hall, and never returned.
The day after Kendrya went missing, her
family received an anonymous phone call saying that Kendrya had been
shot and left in an abandoned house in North Nashville. Her body was
found on April 3 inside a home on Cass Street.
Police said the home is within eyesight of Hall's current girlfriend's residence.
Police said she suffered from multiple gunshot and stab wounds, as well as blunt force trauma.
Witnesses told police that Hall admitted to
killing Davis. Police also learned that Hall had a small caliber
revolver prior to and after Davis' disappearance, and that he made
incriminating statements regarding the discovery of Davis' body and the
destruction/concealment of evidence.
Hall was a person of interest in the case,
and turned himself in to police on unrelated charges on April 3. Police
said he had not been cooperating with their investigation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
– The case against a teenager accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend
and leaving her body in an abandoned house has been bound over to the
grand jury.
Jose Hall was in court on Thursday for a
preliminary hearing. He is charged with criminal homicide in connection
with 18-year-old Kendrya Davis' murder.
Davis' body was found in an abandoned house on Cass Street less than a week after she was reported missing by her family.
A police detective testified about the investigation.
The defense attorney questioned him about the
physical evidence that ties Hall to the crime scene. The detective
said there isn't any right now, because those test results are pending.
But he said he believes there is incriminating evidence against Hall.
"He told me that you (Hall's lawyer) had to
tell him where the house was, what address it was, that he had never
been there. We know for a fact that that's not true," said the
detective.
The detective went on to say that abandoned
house where Kendrya's body was found was a "chill house" where teens
went to hang out.
The Metro detective also told the court Hall
told him he hit Davis at the downtown bus terminal on the night she was
last seen, and other witnesses saw them together.
The day after Kendrya went missing, her
family received an anonymous phone call saying that Kendrya had been
shot and left in an abandoned house in North Nashville.
Police said the home where Kendrya's body was found is within eyesight of Hall's current girlfriend's residence.
Police said she suffered from multiple gunshot and stab wounds, as well as blunt force trauma.http://www.newschannel5.com/story/14492457/ex-boyfriend-accused-of-missing-teen-murder-in-court-thursday
