A suspect has been arrested and charged in the murder two weeks ago of a homeless man in Gainesville.
On Thursday, May 26, investigators with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office arrested 42-year-old Pedro Morales-Valle and charged him with malice murder in the death of Billie Lee Davis.
The 37-year-old Davis was found shot to death on May 13 on the outskirts of a homeless camp off Queen City Parkway where he lived.
Investigators say both men were living at the camp at the time of the murder. They believe they got into an argument and Morales-Valle allegedly shot Davis.
Davis’ body was discovered several hours later. A homeless camp resident alerted authorities.
Morales-Valle remains in the Hall County Jail with no bond. Officials say other charges are pending against him.
