Brady Davis, a retired shop teacher and maintenance worker, who worked in North Forest ISD for years was killed Friday morning during a mugging.
Davis was washing his barbecue trailer shortly after 6am at a carwash on Homestead near Annunciation in preparation for the Memorial Day weekend and graduation party. Police believe a man tried to rob Davis and then shot him. Police believe the same man tried to rob a woman earlier that morning.
Police say there were no obvious signs of struggle. They do not believe anything was taken. The suspect possibly fled on foot and may live nearby.
Davis was 61 years old, and had served North Forest ISD for 25 years. Friends say Davis was a go-getter who was always willing to help a friend.
Police need witnesses. They are asking anyone who might have seen two men talking at the carwash to come forward. The incident may have looked more like a conversation rather than a robbery.
