25-year-old John Curtis Davis of Opp, Alabama was recently arrested and confessed to killing his four-year-old nephew. Davis and his nephew both lived at the home of Davis’ mother at the time the incident happened and Davis allegedly held an air rifle to the chest of Curtis Alexander Ruede and shot him at point blank range, killing the child. Apparently the boy had dropped a small toy on his foot. WTF?
After shooting him he carried the boy into the kitchen and asked his brother to get some paper towels to clean up all the blood. He died on the way to the hospital
One thing that makes this murder even more sucky is the fact that Davis has a history of domestic violence and at the time of the child’s death he was a wanted man being protected by his family.
Davis has previously been convicted of three incidents of domestic violence which include choking his girlfriend and attacking his mother twice, once with a knife and another incident in which he hit her in the head.
Davis is being held without bond, charged with Murder.
