    Stephon Davis Gets 40 Years in 2010 OH Slaying of Angel Crockett

    Suspect accused of killing woman found on Interstate 90 faces the death penalty; officers who thought body was a deer to be disciplined

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland man accused of killing the woman found along Interstate 90 was indicted Tuesday.

    Stephon Davis, 30, is charged with aggravated murder, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, tampering with evidence and gross abuse of a corpse in the death of Angel Bradley-Crockett.

    He will be arraigned May 4 in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, where he faces the death penalty.

    The aggravated robbery charge involves Bradley-Crockett's clothing and personal belongings, prosecutor's spokesman Ryan Miday said.

    Davis is accused of beating Bradley-Crockett and using a ligature to strangle her. Her nude body was found April 5 on the berm under the West 44th Street overpass.

    Patrol officers found the body two hours after the first of four 9-1-1 calls from motorists who saw it between 4:30 and 6:30 a.m.

    Patrolmen Matthew Prince and David Muniz drove past the body at 4:30 a.m. at more than 40 mph and reported that it was a dead deer.

    They face discipline, Safety Director Marty Flask said.

    "It remains under investigation," he said this morning. "Their conduct is being reviewed by Internal Affairs, including conduct by the officers prior to and immediately following the incident. The investigation is expected to be completed Friday or Monday."

    The day the body was found, The Plain Dealer requested the data from the police car's global positioning device. It has not been released.

    Suspect Pleads Guilty to Role in Brutal I-90 Murder

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- One of the suspects charged in the death of a woman dumped along Interstate 90 in April of 2010 has pleaded guilty to her role in the crime.

    Latesha Santos, 24, of Cleveland, plead guilty today to one count each of involuntary manslaughter, robbery and gross abuse of a corpse in the death of Angel Bradley-Crockett.

    Bradley-Crockett, a 28-year-old mother of three, was murdered on April 5, 2010. Her body was left on an embankment along I-90 near West 41st Street.

    According to prosecutors in Cuyahoga County, Santos and a second suspect, Stephon Davis, 30, of Cleveland, got into a car accident with Bradley-Crockett and then lured her to drive her vehicle to a secluded area to discuss the car accident.

    Prosecutors believe Davis and Santos intended to rob Bradley-Crockett when she arrived to discuss the accident.

    According to prosecutors, Bradley-Crockett was lured into a van that Davis had been driving, where she was beaten and strangled. Davis and Santos allegedly took the victims clothes and personal items before disposing her body.

    Bradley-Crockett's death ignited outrage throughout the city after two police officers dispatched to the scene following numerous 911 calls mistook her body for a deer.

    Santos was initially charged with aggravated murder, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, theft and gross abuse of a corpse. She faced the possibility of the death penalty if convicted. Santos plea deal will spare her the death penalty.

    Santos' sentencing date has not been scheduled.

    Davis has a pre-trial set for February 28th on charges of aggravated murder, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, theft and gross abuse of a corpse.

    He faces the death penalty if convicted on all charges.

    Guilty plea in murder of woman dumped along I-90

    Proseuctors have closed the case of a Cleveland woman who was robbed, murdered, and her body dumped along I-90, where a police officer mistook it for a dead deer. On Wednesday, 31-year-old Stephon Davis pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated robbery in the murder of 26-year-old Angel Bradley-Crockett.

    Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Scott Zarzycki tells WTAM 1100 that Davis was about to go on trial for Bradley-Crockett's murder, when Davis decided to enter into a plea bargain. In exchange for the guilty plea, Davis avoids the death penalty, but could be sentenced to up to 40 years in prison.

    Back in April of 2010, Davis and Latesha Santos were in a car wreck along with Bradley-Crockett. When both drivers went to a secluded area to discuss the wreck, police and prosecutors say Bradley-Crockett was robbed, beaten and strangled by Davis and Santos. Her body was disposed of along I-90 near West 44th Street. The situation was well-remembered because a Cleveland police officer patrolling nearby saw Bradley-Crockett's body but mistook it for a dead deer.

    Santos pled guilty a year ago to one count of involuntary manslaughter, plus one count of aggravated robbery and one count of offenses agaisnt a corpse. Both Davis and Santos will be sentenced Friday morning.

    Cleveland man sentenced to 40 years for killing woman, dumping her body on I-90

    By Michael Sangiacomo
    The Plain Dealer

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- At 31, Stephon Davis has already spent nearly half his life behind bars.

    On Friday a judge sentenced him to spend probably the rest of it there.

    Davis was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for murdering Angel Bradley-Crockett and dumping her nude body along Interstate 90.

    Many people in the crowded courtroom, filled with the victim's family and friends, wished the sentence would have been death. Davis avoided a possible death penalty by pleading guilty Wednesday to aggravated murder and aggravated robbery.

    Davis and co-defendant Latesha Santos, 34, killed Bradley-Crockett on April 5, after she and the couple were involved in a minor car crash. Santos also pleaded guilty and is expected to be sentenced to 10 years in prison for her role.

    After the accident, Davis lured 26-year-old Bradley-Crockett to a secluded area near his East 66th Street home on the pretense of discussing the accident. He beat and strangled her, then dumped her naked body along I-90 near West 41st Street where two police officers mistook her for a deer.

    The officers who drove to the spot but didn't stop to investigate were suspended for six months without pay.

    The victim's mother, Patricia Bradley, told the court her daughter was twice violated. "How could they mistake my baby for a deer, an animal?" she asked. "And if they had stopped the first time, she might have still been alive."
