Man Murders Teen by Luring Her in on Facebook to Keep Her from Testifying in His Rape Trial
A man is accused of murdering a 16-year old girl he allegedly raped. He is accused of luring the girl in by pretending to be another teenager on Facebook. Once the girl agreed to meet with him, police say that he killed her.
Franklin Davis, a 30-year old man out of Irving, Texas, confessed to shooting Shania Gray after he was arrested on an unrelated offense this week. After the arrest, police started to question Davis about the girl’s death, and he eventually admitted that he shot her.
Davis was also accused of raping the young girl in 2010 when she babysat for his two kids. He was charged in 2011 of four counts of s****l abuse and was set to face trial for that offense this month. Rather than going on trial, Davis set up a fake Facebook profile pretending to be a handsome teenage boy. The profile was created to lure in Gray.
Gray became Facebook friends with Davis, not knowing that it was him. She agreed to meet him in a mutually agreed upon location, where he drove her to a park and killed her.
Davis got the girl’s attention by telling her that the two had mutual friends and that he had a crush on her.
“I can only imagine Shania’s face when she got into the car and recognized his face, the fright she felt,” said Sherry Ramsey, a friend of Shania. “That’s the part that haunts me the most.”
A large percentage of posts on Facebook are fraudulent. The social network is also the avenue through which many crimes are committed each year. Here are some tips to be safe on Facebook.

My prayers go out to the Gray Family; I believe we are all at a lost when we hear stories like this. We all must be careful on line. Unfortunately, there is evil out there. We must remain vigilant at all cost.
MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN IS DEAD AND NOMALANGA SAYS NOTHING. THEY ALWAYS BURY THE STORIES WHEN HEALTHY BLACK WEALTHY MEN SUDDENLY DIE IN RELATIONSHIPS WITH 3RD WORLD WOMEN. THEY DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

You have to be the most delusional black woman, that was ever born. You must be related to that other delusional psychopath Derrick “The Caucasoid”, because you sound exactly like him. This story is about a filthy animal, that raped, and then murdered a young black girl, but instead of commenting about the atrocious assault, and murder of this young girl, you went on an incoherent, ridiculously stupid, rant about Michael Clarke Duncan’s death, and accuse his girlfriend for his death, without a scintilla of evidence. They must have opened the doors to the loony bins. There are good and bad West Indians, and Africans, just like in every race, and we African Americans, should know this better than anyone, as you and That Derrick idiot is proof.
I strongly suggest you put the crack pipe down and get you mind together and reframe from typing ridiculous rants regarding Michael Clarke Duncan, which has nothing to do with the printed above.
Please excuse the typing error, I meant say refer to the article above referencing the murdered teen at the hands of a psychopath, instead of making ridicullous comments about Michael Clarke Duncan.
It is a shame that a grown man with kids of his own would rape and murder a little girl he should never be allowed to walk free again if it was legal they should let her family do to him what he has done to her rape and murder him just a crying shame I wish I could have 10 mins to kick off in his b**t knowing me I would cut him a new one and chop off his lil manhood ijs I would do some damage
Dumbass!!! Now instaed of going down for rape, you go down for Murder… I just don’t understand people these days…
It’s not just teenagers at risk on Facebook. Adults are at risk too on “BlackPeopleMeet”
FACEBOOK KILLS !! W O W
Caution: any so called friend on FB or any internet social website could very well be your ‘Angel of Death’ to the other side, so unless you are prepared to die, never meet a stranger for the first time alone, no matter what they may tell you or how nice they may sound for wolves comes in sheep attire all to often. The best thing to do is to meet them with several friends in a very public setting with much security survillance etc, it’s better to be safe than to be sorry with the worse becoming a crime victim on the news missing or dead, so Think before you Act.
I will show this to my 12 year old adopted daughter. I love her very much and told her that is why I have to check her facebook page. I only just let her have one under this condition. My heart goes out to those parents, I can’t begin to imagine their heartbreak.
For a long time, I have been thinking it should be obligatory for females to take self-defense courses as young as possible. There are too many females (whatever the age) worldwidem(one out of three) who are abused physically and/or sexually!!!
It is a shame that a full grown man with kids of his own would rape and murder a little girl. I really hate this for the Gray family. Msy God keep His loving arms around the family and friends. All I can say is Lord have mercy!
Sometimes, after 20 years in law enforcement, I still find it hard to believe this crazy s**t that goes down……No one is safe from anyone.
Detroit, Michigan my home state does not have the death penalty, however, when it comes to rape, I don’t care who you are as a male, if you rape a girl, woman or another male, you deserve to be put to death for this. The crazy part about this is that I don’t even believe in the death penalty, but things are beginning to get worse with crimes against women and children – Domestic Violence, Rape, Child Abuse and Cruelty to Children, are all crimes that make me ask the questions of what next.
Hey Excited – do you believe in the death penalty in the opposite direction (i.e. when some older woman takes advantage of a young girl, boy or engages in s*x with a man without his consent ?)
Based on what is stated in this article,I am baffled as to why she didn’t see his face before she got into the car. I can’t imagine a vehicle pulling up and just hopping in before seeing who is behind the wheel. If he pulled up and displayed a gun and said “get in” that is a different story. She did not deserve to die & I hope this monster gets the death penalty. Too bad they won’t put him in the general population in jail.
If his intent was to I’ll her why would he allow her o see his face so that his intent would be foiled!
I think the laws are horrible in a lot of instances. While I do not agree with those stupid laws in a lot of those countries abroad, I believe over here for some criminals, the laws are all wrong. For example, if you are an admitted rapist or brutal mass murderer, you should not be placed in a different area to keep other criminals from attacking. I mean look at how other inmates who are in jail for less violent crimes are attacked by other inmates. So let me get this straight, if you do a non violent crime, you will not be separated from killers who can attack you, but if you are a violent inmate who committed unthinkable crimes, you will be protected from other violent criminals??? What A country.
FB isnt the issue. The laws have to change to keep these kinds of predators behind walls. A drug dealer gets more time than a rapist. Thats the issue. The laws are put in place for the criminals.
Now the disparity in convicted crimes is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed. If he had gotten caught with crack he would’ve been locked up as if he murdered someone. Yet as a rapist he walks the streets in no time.
The problem begins at home, we as parents must monitor our children activities, stop trying to be their friends and be parents. Times have changed and kids dont have to think much (computer age) life is a game, but can be shortened by lack of security. This generation is so confused, opened and trusting that its scary to think of our future. We as parents must teach and protect our youth by all means neccesary. Im so sorry for that baby and her family. Dude needs his a__ beat.
Wow, even after a rape she was this trusting. I feel so sorry that she lost her life being trusting. This is where moms come in…where was the mother? Did this girl get much needed counseling after the rape. So SAD!
How about teen-agers letting their parents know where they are going?? How about parents keeping up with their teens and questioning where they are going, with who, give a tme to return, dropping them off, have someone go along with them. Teaching teens to always meet strangers in a public place, not jump into a car without knowing who they are?? Ounce of prevention is the key!
I was about to say, anyone that just says The Killer is at fault is wrong!! The Parent of the Child, and The Child was ALSO at fault here. You have no business going and meeting up with ANYONE off Facebook. No sir. What happen to the old days where the boy had to come to the House to see your daughter? What happened to straight Phone calls at the house?
The story clearly says that he posed like he was a young handsome teenage boy. He posted a pic of a young boy in order to lure her in. Either way, it is not the teen’s fault. In reponse to D.K, most teens do NOT disclose what they are doing. Hence, she went out to meet what she thought was a ‘young teenager’ her age. It is an unfortunate case, but this needs to be used as a teaching tool to sons and daughters so that they do not fall into the false Facebook trap. Additionally, since this monster was after her, unfortunately, he would have more than likely tried to do anything to get to her.
They should burn his a*s alive, but very slow. This is why I never will support the elimination of the death penalty. Instead of petitions to eliminate it, we should petition to make it more quicker, more cruel, and televise it. If these filthy animals could see, and hear someone being burned to death, I’d bet they’d think twice, before committing some of these atrocious crimes.
Simple words can not convey the feelings of disgust that I am experiencing for this piece of c**p who raped, tricked, and murdered an innocent young lady because of his l**t, evilness, wickedness, manipulation and deceit. I can only hope and pray that justice is applied to this degenerate and he is convicted to the maximum sentence allowable under the law where he can live his pathetic life in misery. R.I.P. Shania Gray and my sincerest condolences to the family and friends.
It was just her time to go…If I got raped by someone, the last place I’d want to meet someone is off of the internet! This is just sick! Where are the parents these days tho? My mom always said NO…
This is a thug who is going to get his just due.
This clown should be given life without any chances of seeing the out side world again.
