Man in custody in connection to fatal Parramore shooting

ORLANDO, Fla. — One man is in custody in connection to a shooting where a man was found dead in a Parramore driveway early Saturday morning.

Willie Griffin Jr., 30, is accused of shooting 33-year-old Antoine Davis just after 4 a.m. Saturday on Randall Street near Westmoreland Drive.

Family and friends are looking for answers, as they said the two used to be friends. They believe the two had a falling out over a woman when Griffin began dating the ex-girlfriend of Davis.

"I got nobody out here with me now," said Davis' brother Deshawn Jones. "I'm out here alone."

Davis was taking care of his little brother after their mother died recently of cancer.

Davis used crutches to move around after losing his leg in a car accident. He was known as a big Orlando Magic fan who loved to make others smile.

During his first court appearance, it was discovered that Griffin allegedly shot Davis several times. Witnesses claimed that after Davis was on the ground and still alive after being shot, Griffin approached and shot him multiple times.

An arrest warrant stated that before the shooting, the victim had been involved in two arguments with his ex-girlfriend, who is the suspect's current girlfriend. During one of the incidents at Griffin's home, Griffin struck the ex-girlfriend, according to a witness.

Shortly after a witness said they saw Griffin remove a black handgun from his waistband and shoot Davis.

Griffin was previously arrested for robbing and beating up a couple but later had those charges dropped.

He'll go before a judge Thursday and is expected to be denied bond since he is accused of murder.
