Clay County Sheriff's Office identified 48-year-old Morris Anthony Davis as the man shot and killed by a deputy on May 9 in Oakleaf Plantation, Florida. Davis was wanted out of Mississippi on a homicide warrant. Deputies, assisting the Department of Children and Families with an investigation, encountered Davis armed with two knives during an attempted arrest. After multiple unsuccessful Taser attempts and resistance from Davis, Deputy D. Brown fired, resulting in his death. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and State Attorney's Office are investigating, with the deputy placed on administrative leave. Neighbors described Davis as a community member with a mental health crisis, prompting calls for transparency from the NAACP chapter. The incident has sparked local concerns about law enforcement response to mental health situations.
