Addict Suspected In Grove Slaying
Grove Oklahoma authorities say an out of state addict may have murdered 18 year old Grove man Davis Saturday night. Davis was shot once in the neck along a road near Monkey Island in Delaware county. County Attorney L V Benan said Davis had gone to a Grove drug store at 5 pm Saturday to buy the narcotic diluadid described on a bag. The store owner said Davis handed him a bag marked diluadid and claimed a friend sent him to purchase it. Davis left after being told the drug could not be sold without a prescription. A car with Illinois plates reportedly picked him up and Davis’ body was found a few hours later. Benan said the victim had not been known to use narcotics.
