A man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of an 81-year-old woman during a robbery that took place last year.
The incident occurred on Monday, January 31, 2022, at a Chevron Gas Station situated at 3707 Broadway in Riviera Beach.
The victim, Mary McNeal, was just days away from her 82nd birthday when she tragically lost her life due to a severe head injury sustained during the robbery.
Riviera Beach Police conducted a thorough investigation, eventually identifying the perpetrator as Willie Davis, also known as ‘New York’.
In March 2022, Davis was formally charged with felony first-degree murder and robbery.
Following a trial, the jury delivered a guilty verdict for Davis on June 6.
As a result, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for felony first-degree murder and an additional 15 years for the robbery offense.
