Jealous Ex Watches Triple Murder LIVE Through Phone

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800
The woman called the mastermind
behind the murderers is sitting

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,160
in a jail cell here in downtown
tonight.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,680
Prosecutors say she may have
watched the entire thing happen

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,640
on a FaceTime call.
Alexis Williams. 29 year old

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,040
Alexis Williams faced a judge
tonight for the first time.

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,480
She's charged with three counts
of capital murder, accused of

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,960
setting up a plot that left a
mother, a father and a child

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,640
dead back in June of 2021.
Donavia Lagway, Gregory Car He

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,840
and six year old Harmony Car He
were found dead in their Fondren

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,240
apartment.
Prosecutor said Lagway was

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,480
separated from her husband when
she had a romantic relationship

12
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:39,520
with Alexis Williams.
The mother of four broke things

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,800
off with Williams and returned
to her husband, which allegedly

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,320
angered Williams to the point of
murder.

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,200
If that's the consequence of
dating this defendant, nobody in

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,280
Harris County is safe.
At today's bail hearing, her

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,200
bond was denied.
She was not allegedly the

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,760
gunman, although she coordinated
the entire event, it appears.

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Williams spoke only only once
during today's hearing.

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880
You have no bond in any of the
three capital murders.

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,560
Prosecutors say Williams
conspired with suspected hitman

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,480
Xavier Davis, promising him
several $1000 in the family's

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,720
apartment for the murders.
During the shooting, the car

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,280
he's 10 year old daughter
watched while her family was

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,600
killed.
She was also shot but survived

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,000
by playing dead.
This incredible young lady was

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,520
able to get up despite being
gravely wounded, care for her

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,840
one year old baby brother who
was still in the apartment.

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,440
Davis was arrested days later,
but Williams carried on with

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,320
life as usual.
It apparently went down that the

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,240
defendant attended the funeral
service of these victims that

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,080
she helped to kill.
Prosecutors say detectives were

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,080
able to piece together the plot
once they were able to crack the

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,120
passcode to Williams his cell
phone.

35
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,320
When Xavier Davis was inside
that apartment, he was on

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,560
FaceTime with Alexis Williams.
That means that she watched

37
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,440
either the executions or the
immediate aftermath.

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,480
The brutal murder of a Houston
family in June 2021 has

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,440
culminated in a death sentence
for Xavier Davis, marking one of

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,400
Texas's most disturbing contract
killing cases.

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,600
The details of this horrific
crime have shocked the community

42
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:26,320
and highlighted the devastating
impact of premeditated violence

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,560
on families.
On June 30th, 2021, Davis

44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,800
executed A calculated attack by
forcing his way into the home of

45
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,920
Gregory Carhi, 35, and Don Yavia
Lagway, 29.

46
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,480
What followed was a sequence of
events that would forever change

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,960
the lives of their children and
send ripples through the Houston

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,720
community.
In front of their children,

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,960
Davis shot both parents,
displaying a level of brutality

50
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,000
that prosecutors would later
emphasize during trial

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,720
proceedings.
He then turned his weapon on

52
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,920
their six year old daughter,
Harmony Carhi, killing her

53
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:08,520
execution style.
The couple's 10 year old

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,200
daughter survived only through
quick thinking, playing dead

55
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,800
after suffering a non fatal
gunshot wound.

56
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,960
The surviving child's ordeal
continued as she lay motionless,

57
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,360
forced to witness Davis
ransacking their apartment in

58
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,520
search of money and jewelry.
During a 2022 bail hearing,

59
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,680
Harris County District Attorney
Shawn Tear revealed a

60
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,040
particularly chilling detail.
Davis made a video call to his

61
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,040
alleged conspirator, allowing
her to witness the aftermath of

62
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,080
the murders.
This evidence would later prove

63
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,400
crucial in establishing the
premeditated nature of the crime

64
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,000
and it's connection to a broader
conspiracy.

65
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,480
The attack showed elements of
selective targeting as Davis

66
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,160
spared the life of the couple's
two year old son.

67
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,360
A fourth child, an 8 year old
boy, was fortunately absent from

68
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,000
the home during the murders.
The tragedy deepened when

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,280
medical examiner's discovered
that Lagway was pregnant at the

70
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,000
time of her murder, adding
another layer of loss to the

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,360
already devastating crime.
The surviving 10 year old

72
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,279
demonstrated remarkable courage
and presence of mind in the

73
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,560
aftermath of the attack.
Once Davis left the apartment,

74
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,160
she immediately secured her baby
brother's safety by locking the

75
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,440
door and called for help.
Her quick actions not only saved

76
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,400
lives but also provided law
enforcement with crucial early

77
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,200
information about the crime.
Law enforcement's response was

78
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,320
swift and effective.
Within days, police arrested

79
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,280
Davis and charged him with three
counts of capital murder and a

80
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,440
single count of aggravated
assault.

81
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,960
The investigation revealed
additional crimes, including an

82
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,360
aggravated robbery with a deadly
weapon charge for allegedly

83
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,560
stealing a man's car at gunpoint
just before the murders,

84
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,360
suggesting a broader pattern of
violent behavior.

85
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,320
The legal proceedings took an
unexpected turn when Davis, who

86
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,600
had initially pleaded not
guilty, changed his plea to

87
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,320
guilty just minutes into his
criminal trial.

88
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,960
This sudden reversal, while
admission of his crimes, did not

89
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,680
prevent the trial from
proceeding.

90
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,800
The jury was then tasked with
determining whether Davis should

91
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,640
receive the death penalty or
life imprisonment.

92
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,840
The jury's deliberations focused
on 2 crucial questions.

93
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,840
First, they unanimously
concluded that Davis posed A

94
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:40,720
continuing threat to society
likely to commit future acts of

95
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,360
violence.
Second, they found no mitigating

96
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,480
circumstances substantial enough
to warrant life imprisonment

97
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,200
instead of the death penalty.
This unanimous decision

98
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,120
reflected the jury's assessment
of both the brutality of the

99
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,240
crimes and Davis's potential for
future violence.

100
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,840
The investigation revealed a
complex web of relationships and

101
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:05,440
motives.
Alexis Williams, arrested in

102
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,240
March 2022, emerged as the
alleged mastermind behind the

103
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,200
murders.
Police discovered that Williams

104
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,720
had previously dated Lagway, and
their relationship had ended

105
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,440
shortly before the shootings.
The connection between Williams

106
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,120
and Davis traced back to their
childhood friendship, providing

107
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,240
investigators with crucial
context for how the murder plot

108
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,480
developed.
Williams now faces serious

109
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,040
charges, including three counts
of capital murder and aggravated

110
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,600
assault with a deadly weapon.
She has maintained her

111
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,440
innocence, entering not guilty
pleas to all charges.

112
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,320
Her case represents the second
phase of prosecution in this

113
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,200
family tragedy, with authorities
working to hold accountable not

114
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,720
just the perpetrator but also
those who allegedly orchestrated

115
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,120
the violence.
The legal aftermath continues to

116
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,600
unfold.
While Davis cannot appeal his

117
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,960
conviction due to his guilty
plea, he is currently appealing

118
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,720
his death sentence.
This process highlights the

119
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,720
complexity of capital punishment
cases in Texas and the multiple

120
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,240
layers of legal review they
typically undergo.

121
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600
The case has broader
implications for understanding

122
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,720
domestic violence, murder for
hire schemes and the impact of

123
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,040
relationship motivated crimes on
families and communities.

124
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,200
The involvement of children as
both victims and witnesses adds

125
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,920
another tragic dimension to the
case, raising questions about

126
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,080
the long term psychological
impact on survivors.

127
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,480
The survival and testimony of
the 10 year old girl remains one

128
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840
of the most compelling aspects
of this case.

129
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,120
Her ability to maintain
composure under extreme duress,

130
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,520
protect her younger sibling, and
alert authorities demonstrates

131
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,200
extraordinary resilience.
Her account will likely prove

132
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,280
crucial in the upcoming
prosecution of Williams and

133
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,560
serves as a testament to human
courage in the face of

134
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,400
unimaginable horror.
As the legal proceedings

135
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,560
continue, particularly regarding
Williams's prosecution and

136
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Davis's death sentence appeal,
this case serves as a stark

137
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,880
reminder of how personal
relationships gone wrong can

138
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,240
escalate into devastating
violence.

139
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,920
The pending nature of these
legal matters, coupled with the

140
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,440
Harris County District
Attorney's Office's current

141
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,840
silence on media requests,
suggests that additional

142
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,880
developments may yet emerge in
this tragic story.
