Man charged with stabbing girlfriend to death in East Hall

Criminal investigators with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office have charged a suspect in the murder of a woman whose body was found Monday morning in a residence in Gillsville.

A mutual acquaintance found the body of Alexis Davis Roberson, 26, around 10:30 a.m. on August 22 inside the residence in the 3300 block of McDougal Road. She had been stabbed multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene, sheriff’s officials say. Roberson’s body has been sent to the GBI Crime Lab for autopsy.

Investigators identified Roberson’s boyfriend Rashon Otis Bacon, 45, as a person of interest in the crime. Bacon also lived at the residence, but he was not there when deputies first arrived at the scene. Bacon returned to the residence Monday afternoon while investigators were working the crime scene. He was taken into custody for questioning. Investigators charged Bacon with felony murder Monday night.

At this time, investigators have not determined a motive for the murder.

Bacon remains in the Hall County Jail with no bond.
