The Delaware County Prosecutor\u2019s Office charged Rylynn Joshua Davis on Monday with murder, attempted murder, kidnapping with serious bodily injury, two counts of aggravated battery, criminal confinement while armed, criminal recklessness, domestic battery and neglect of a dependent in connection to the killing of his 23-year-old girlfriend, Cheyenne Raines, Fox 59 reported.<\/p>\n

Davis, 21, chased down Raines, as she fled his Muncie home \u2014 about 60 miles outside Indianapolis \u2014 after he allegedly beat her at around 5:30 p.m. on May 10, Police said.<\/p>\n

Davis quickly caught up to his girlfriend, beat her again and yanked her by the feet, dragging her back toward his home.<\/p>\n

Two men driving down the block in a Dodge pickup truck spotted Davis dragging a screaming Raines down the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Michael Hennessey, 40, told Fox 59 he initially thought it was just \u201ctwo kids messing around\u201d \u2014 until he realized \u201cit was a guy dragging a girl down the road by her ankles,\u201d prompting him and his coworker Jeremy McKee, 39, to pull over to help.<\/p>\n

Davis allegedly opened fire on the vehicle, striking the pair during his shooting spree. <\/p>\n

\u201cI jumped out my door, ducked behind the truck, and I seen Jeremy and her both laying on the ground,\u201d Hennessey said. \u201cAlmost as soon as I switched directions, it felt like I got hit with a baseball bat.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the middle of the shooting, Davis turned the gun on Raines before fleeing back inside his home.<\/p>\n

First responders arrived to find three gunshot victims scattered outside the home and rushed all three to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Raines was pronounced dead at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital after she suffered \u201cnumerous gunshot wounds to her face, chest, abdomen, and back,\u201d according to court records obtained by the outlet.<\/p>\n

McKee was shot in the head and remains hospitalized. Hennessey, shot in the abdomen, was released after seven days.<\/p>\n

Davis eventually surrendered to officers after they surrounded his home and was taken into custody.<\/p>\n

Inside the home, police found three children \u2014 ages 3, 2 and 3 months \u2014 locked in a room \u201ccovered in dirt and feces\u201d and described as being \u201cin deplorable condition,\u201d Fox 59 reported.<\/p>\n

Davis told investigators he exchanged words with the two men in the truck, shot one once and fired several shots at the other. <\/p>\n

He denied shooting Raines intentionally and claimed the handgun belonged to Raines, saying he was \u201cprotecting himself\u201d when he opened fire.<\/p>\n

Raines tried to leave Davis on May 8, but he refused to let her go and threw her to the floor, where she struck her head on a speaker, investigators said, according to Fox 59.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Two days later \u2014 on Mother\u2019s Day \u2014 Raines tried to leave again. Davis told her she couldn\u2019t, punched her and she fled the home moments before the shooting that would kill her.<\/p>\n

Davis is being held without bond in the Delaware County Jail, with no initial hearing date yet set.<\/p>\n
