Floyd County (April 5, 2023) – A thirty-nine-year-old mother of seven was shot three times in the drive-thru of a Rome fast food restaurant by a man her family says “wouldn’t leave her alone.”
Anthony Wayne Green, 56, turned the gun on himself immediately after taking Cassie Lashae Davis‘s life. Relatives told police Green, known as ‘Tony,’ followed the victim around and refused to accept the end of their relationship in the time leading up to the murder. Davis celebrated her birthday a few days before her murder.
Police say the victim was sitting in the drive-through line of Chick-fil-A when Green drove into the restaurant parking lot around 7 AM and got out of his vehicle to shoot Davis three times through the passenger side window of her car. Green then turned the weapon on himself.
According to reports, Davis’s vehicle rolled forward after Green shot her, striking a power box at Chick-fil-A and rolling down a hill and into traffic, where the accident was reported to police. Upon arrival, Rome police discovered the accident was secondary to the murder-suicide.
According to sources, Davis’s family says she was fun, happy, and an amazing mother who raised the grandchildren of her ex-husband as her own. Davis’s youngest brother told police he had known the deceased suspect for a long time and was shocked to hear that Green was responsible for his sister’s death. The victim’s ex-husband said he would be telling his children about the death of a mother for the second time after the death of his first wife several years ago.
Davis’s children, aged five to eighteen, are left without their mother, who her own mother described as “a sweet lady and good mother.”
