In the early morning hours of March 3, 2013, Phillip Davenport was shot and killed in his front yard, with his wife and three young children hiding in a closet inside the home. Mr. Davenport had returned from a routine trip to a Wal-Mart in Navarre, Florida, just a few minutes away. He had just gotten off the phone with his wife Tamara, and did not indicate that anything was wrong. But something was wrong – he just didn’t know it yet.
Now almost 11 years old, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office is working to solve the murder of Phillip Davenport. This case, like other cold cases, still has the full attention of Sheriff Bob Johnson and his team.
