Jordan Davis received threats from drug dealer before murder

sundayworld.com

Jordan Davis was warned by a drug dealer just days before he was fatally shot. The warning included messages that said, "I'm on your case mate, it won't be long" and "soon, very soon bang bang." This was 19 days before the incident, which occurred while he was pushing a pram with his four-month-old son in Dublin. The court heard from Detective Garda Kevin Farrell, who found evidence on an iPhone and two Nokia phones belonging to Davis. Messages exchanged on May 3 indicated tensions between Davis and the dealer. The messages referenced large debts, with one saying, "someone be onto you today." The tone suggested hostility, with threats made about getting even. Robert "Roo" Redmond, the drug dealer linked to the messages, is related to Rachel Redmond, who is accused of helping the shooter, Wayne Cooney, evade capture. She allegedly drove Cooney away from the scene and checked him into a hotel. The prosecution claims that Robert Redmond was in conflict with Davis, leading to the murder. The trial is ongoing, and Rachel Redmond has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the case. The prosecution must prove that she knew Cooney committed murder. The jury is composed of three men and nine women, and the trial will continue tomorrow.
