A man who attempted to rob two women in Canton was fatally shot Tuesday night, police said.
The suspect, identified as Rajhion Davis, was pronounced dead at Mercy Hospital after being dropped off by a white vehicle. The incident occurred near the intersection of 10th Street NW and High Avenue NW, where Davis confronted the women, demanding valuables while armed with a firearm.
According to police, one of the women was shot in the chest during the altercation but managed to return fire, striking Davis. The women were walking near King Park when Davis and another man approached them in a white vehicle, possibly a Chevrolet Malibu.
After a brief exchange, Davis exited the vehicle, brandished a gun, and attempted to rob the women. One woman tried to retreat but was shot, prompting her to fire multiple rounds at the suspect.
The injured woman was taken to Mercy Hospital for treatment, where she is expected to recover.
Police reviewed security footage from the area, confirming the details of the confrontation. Officers later recovered a firearm near the scene and continue to investigate the incident.
