The U.S. Attorneys Office confirmed Wednesday that a man arrested in Brentwood on Tuesday was wanted by the FBI in connection with the 2009 killing of a Columbia man. <\/p>\n
Rickey Eugene Big Rick Davis Jr., 33, of 802 Armstrong Lane, Columbia, was taken into custody Tuesday morning near the Macys department store at Cool Springs Galleria mall. <\/p>\n
Brentwood Assistant Chief Tommy Walsh said the FBI had alerted BPD that Davis was going to be in the area that morning. Walsh said his officers were prepared to intercept Davis at Moores Lane but soon discovered his vehicle at the mall. <\/p>\n
We took him into custody without any incident, fortunately, Walsh said. <\/p>\n
A federal indictment naming Davis and three other men accused of killing Relland Stovall was unsealed Tuesday afternoon. <\/p>\n
Davis, Deterines Cortae Weeda Cathey, 24, of Columbia, Avery Donte C-Mo Harwell, 25, of Mt. Pleasant, and Edward Christopher Big Newt Claude are alleged members of the Kitchen Crips gang whose members and associates engaged in narcotics trafficking and acts of violence, which operated principally in the Mount Pleasant and Columbia areas of Maury County, Tennessee, according to the indictment. <\/p>\n
Harwell remains in state custody on other charges, David Boling of the U.S. Attorneys Office said. He also said another arrest was expected within the next 24 hours, but he did not specify which man was sought. <\/p>\n
Columbia Police said Wednesday they are actively searching for Cathey, who is considered to be potentially violent and possibly armed. <\/p>\n
According to the indictment, the four men were involved in a drive-by shooting on April 5, 2009, to avenge the shooting of a Kitchen Crips gang member earlier on that same date. A stray bullet struck Relland Stovall in the head while he was standing inside his home on White Street in Columbia. <\/p>\n
Stovall, then 36, was developmentally disabled and worked with his brother Rolland Stovall as cafeteria aides at Highland Park Elementary School. The pair were known about town for walking together everywhere they went, and picking up trash from the road to keep the community clean. <\/p>\n
