Davis was visiting her 17-year-old boyfriend, a school drop-out, in his trailer at the time of the murder. There were alcohol bottles all around. After the murder, the boyfriend committed suicide.
Here´s a selection from the story in the March 14 Lancaster Intelligencer Journal:
A 17-year-old boy shot his teenage girlfriend in the head, then turned the .22-caliber rifle on himself after an argument late Wednesday night at a Little Britain Township mobile home, officials said....HowardHis 17-year-old girlfriend, Mae Marie Davis of New Providence, died at Lancaster General Hospital about 4 a.m., investigators said. Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni said the girl had been shot twice in the temple.
Police on Thursday were calling the incident an apparent murder-suicide.
Neighbors told police they saw and heard the couple arguing outside the mobile home about 10 p.m. Police said Hollow shot Davis less than an hour later....
Alcohol may have played a role in the argument and shooting, investigators said.
"There were alcohol bottles laying about the home," Kosheba said. "Some were empty; some still had alcohol in them."...
"He was a very, very good guy," the neighbor said of Hollow, according to a published report, "just very troubled. … He´s been in and out of rehab. He´s threatened suicide. He´s a good guy, but he has problems."...
Hollow dropped out of Solanco High School last year, according to a published report.
Davis was reportedly home-schooled, finishing last year.
