Not only did she see all of this happen, she told the police what happened. Shellana Victoria Davis married the killer while he was in jail. Prosecutors have said that they believe the marriage was intended to prevent Davis from testifying against Nelson under the state’s spousal privilege law.

Joseph L. Nelson has been charged with a triple homicide. He killed his ex girlfriend, her boyfriend and her and Nelson’s one year old in September on 2015. According to prosecutors, Davis said she witnessed Nelson shoot Bianca Fletcher, Nelson’s ex, after she threw something at him during an argument and then shot Fletcher’s boyfriend, Shannon Rollins, to eliminate his as a witness. He then killed his own son because he was crying and he was afraid that the cries would cause attention.
Nelson has denied any involvement in the case. Davis married Nelson on December 7, 2015 while he was jail. His bond is $1 million cash and is facing three charges of first degree murder. Prosecutors sought a court order to formally interview Davis on tape before the couple was married, but the marriage occurred before the court ruled on the motion. In the filing before the wedding, prosecutors said Davis’ detailed eyewitness account of the events formed “the basis for the felony charges filed in this matter.”
Davis was arrested the day of the wedding and charged with one count of first-degree burglary and two counts of tampering with evidence. She is jailed on $75,000 bond. A bond reduction hearing is scheduled for Jan. 27.

This is why I returned to the game. I was making 6 figures, had a very comfortable life but I just couldn’t take stories like these. There was a father that killed his 3 month old baby in Chicago after an argument with his child’s mother. A mother drove her 5 children into the Atlantic Ocean a few years ago. If my grandmother was alive she would be praying and saying we were in the last days and man it really feel that way. At first I was trying not to be over dramatic thinking that maybe these stories were just a microcosm of the reality only shown on television. Yet as time has passed since 2000, the death and destruction has been brain numbing. I can’t see us continuing this way. Noone may listen to my music but I had to do my part. I will keep advocating for our society to heal, some may say I’m irrational but we all have to do something, this has gone too far.
