A chilling story unfolded when a man reportedly admitted to robbing a bank in Wisconsin, using the money to buy guns and camouflage, and then driving to Kentucky with the intent to harm two women. According to Kentucky State Police, the suspect, Roosevelt Davis, 23, confessed to this shocking series of events.
The case centers around a tragic incident involving Kadesha Burch, a 31-year-old woman who lost her life, and a 52-year-old woman who survived and was rushed to the hospital. Davis, who is from Milwaukee, is facing serious charges, including murder, attempted murder, and first-degree burglary.
Police in Springfield, Kentucky, called for backup from the Kentucky State Police after the Friday morning shooting on Claybrooke Avenue. Officers said Davis broke into the home and opened fire, leaving devastation in his wake.
Detectives believe Davis forced his way into the house by ramming his shoulder into a side door. Once inside, he allegedly fired around ten shots, targeting the two women. After the attack, he fled the scene, but law enforcement quickly mobilized to find him.
A statewide alert led Shelbyville Police officers to stop a Chevrolet Malibu, identifying Davis as the driver. Kentucky State Police detectives took over from there, questioning him about the horrifying events.
During the interrogation, Davis allegedly revealed a chilling confession. He claimed he had robbed a Wisconsin bank to get money for guns and camouflage. Afterward, he drove all the way to Kentucky with a sinister plan in mind.
Family members of Kadesha Burch revealed a troubling detail—Davis had been sending them threatening messages ever since an earlier incident where he was accused of strangling Burch. That case has now tragically escalated into this violent act.
The surviving victim’s strength and the quick actions of first responders have been vital in piecing together what happened. Meanwhile, investigators are continuing their work to ensure justice is served for the lives impacted by this horrific crime.
