A sentence after conviction is the court's judgment on the counts that supported the term. It is not a new accusation. Michael C. Davis, 38, was sentenced Friday in Prince William County to 258 years, with 80 years suspended, for 178 years to serve, after reported convictions that include second-degree murder in the death of Tatiana David. Commonwealth's Attorney Amy Ashworth said, as reported, "Tatiana David did not deserve to die."
On April 5, 2023, the case was related to an abduction alert out of Ithaca, New York. A stop in Fairfax became a chase onto I-95 and into Prince William County. The vehicle crashed near mile marker 148. Reporting said Davis opened fire on troopers and, during the shootout, shot Tatiana David multiple times, killing her. Ballistics tied those bullets to his gun. No troopers were killed. Those are the facts WJLA reported from the Commonwealth's Attorney's account. They are the record behind the convictions.
The Commonwealth's Attorney's office, as reported by WJLA 7News, said Davis was sentenced Friday in Prince William County to 258 years, with 80 years suspended, leaving 178 years to serve. The reported convictions are second-degree murder, abduction, three counts of attempted aggravated murder of a law enforcement officer, 10 firearm charges, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, and felony eluding. Ashworth said, "Tatiana David did not deserve to die." A sentence after conviction is the judgment.

Tuscaloosa police charged Daronte Collins with felony murder after a Saturday apartment-complex shooting.
WBRC's jail photo is captioned Daronte Collins and puts both men at 22. The Tuscaloosa Thread, citing Violent Crimes Unit Lt. Michael Hall, spells the charged man Deronte and puts both at 20. Patch and the Calhoun Journal also use Daronte and 20. A felony-murder count, which the Thread and the Journal describe as Alabama's rule when someone dies during a robbery, is not a finding that Collins fired the shot that killed Tyson. The Thread says the 25-year-old has not been charged.

High Point police charged Kymberli Bowden with first-degree murder in her 13-year-old daughter's death.
The Oct. 8 release is a new murder count on a case the department charged in 2025 as felony child abuse and concealment of death. It is not a trial. The murder-charge release says she remains in jail with no bond. WXII reported a violent-offense hold and a $1 million bond on the older counts. The 2025 release listed her age as 44. The murder-charge release, WXII, and FOX 35 Orlando list 45.

Chicago police charged Chevazz Campbell in the stabbing death of CTA janitor Julian Mobley.
A detention hearing is the first court date. It is not a finding that Campbell stabbed anyone. The department's Sunday release says he robbed and fatally stabbed a 41-year-old man in the 2000 block of West Lake Street. ABC7 and CBS Chicago name that man as Julian Mobley and describe a fare dispute that turned into a stabbing. The department's charge list and CBS Chicago's shorter summary do not match count for count.
