January 21, 2021 - Charges have been filed against a suspect arrested in the death of a man following an incident at 5715 Heron Drive on January 14.

The suspect, Annual Davidson III (b/m, 36), is charged with murder in the 174th State District Court.  A booking photo of Davidson is attached to this news release.

The victim, Joseph Kasavage, 60, suffered wounds to his head.

HPD Homicide Division Detectives M. Condon and J. Brown reported:

HPD patrol officers were called to a hospital about 2:30 a.m. on January 14 and advised that Mr. Kasavage was pronounced deceased with head wounds. 

The subsequent investigation revealed Kasavage and a suspect were involved in a physical confrontation at a residence at the above address that led to Kasavage being wounded.  The suspect then drove Kasavage to the hospital where he died.

Further investigation led to the identification of Davidson as a suspect in this case and he was subsequently arrested last Saturday (Jan. 16) and charged for his role in Kasavage's death.
