The juvenile suspect in last week’s deadly shooting in Hendersonville was arrested early Friday in Upstate South Carolina, according to the City of Hendersonville.

The suspect will be extradited to Henderson County to face voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm by a juvenile charges in connection with the Oct. 17 shooting on Woodcock Drive.
Officers found a male victim with a gunshot wound to the head after responding at 8:01 p.m. on Oct 17 to multiple 911 calls reporting a shooting in front of 724 Woodcock Drive. The victim, Justin Alan Davis, 29, of Hendersonville, was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.
Police earlier this week obtained warrants charging the juvenile, whose name is being withheld pursuant to state law, and said they were working with his family to ensure his safe surrender to law enforcement.
