Brother of 2 NFL players accused in DC killing

[Count Steeler]

The younger brother of NFL players Vernon and Vontae Davis has been charged with murder in the death of a man visiting the nation's capital from Colorado, and a judge has scheduled a hearing to determine whether he is competent to stand trial.

Michael W. Davis, 19, who has a history of mental health problems, was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder while armed in the death of Gary Dederichs of Denver. Dederichs, a 66-year-old retired nurse, had been staying in a private home in the residential northwest Washington neighborhood of Petworth, and he was killed while walking alone in the area.

Competent enough to take someones life, competent enough to stand trial IMO.

WTF was this guy doing walking around anyways??!


Davis had previously been charged with assault with intent to kill in two nonfatal attacks in the same neighborhood, and he is a suspect in two additional attacks, all of which occurred between April 24 and April 26 and within a mile of Davis' home. He is believed to have struck people on the head with a hammer or claw-style weapon, choosing his victims at random, according to police. The other four victims survived.

All killers have mental health problems! If they didn't, they wouldn't be killers!

So he attacked 4 people already with intent to kill and nobody thought it would be a good idea to get him off the streets?
