According to Troy Police Chief Danny Barron, Brandon Rakeem Davenport, De

Troy, was charged with one count of discharging a firearm into an unoccupied vehicle. Barron said Davenport’s bond was set at $100,000. Davenport is currently being held in Pike

County Jail without bond on a probation violation.

Barron said Davenport’s arrest was in connection with a shooting that occurred on University Avenue on Oct. 25. Barron said officers initially responded to reports of shots fired in the area, but no suspects were found at the scene. Barron said witnesses said an individual fired shots from a vehicle and a second person on foot discharged a firearm.

Barron said officers were able to recover several shell casings at the scene and discovered a nearby residence had been struck by a bullet. An unoccupied vehicle was also struck by gunfire. No injuries were reported, Barron said.

During the investigation, Barron said officers learned the gunfire followed a physical altercation inside a nearby business. No weapons were involved in the altercation at the business.

Barron said the Troy Police Department continues to investigate this incident and many others

arrests could occur. Troy police are urging anyone with extra

information to appear.
