Troy Anthony Davis (October 9, 1968 – September 21, 2011) was an
American convicted of and executed for the August 19, 1989 murder of
police officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia.

MacPhail was working as a security guard at a Burger King restaurant when he
intervened to defend a man being assaulted in a nearby parking lot.

During Davis’s 1991 trial, several witnesses testified they had seen
Davis shoot MacPhail, and two others testified that Davis had
confessed to them. Although the murder weapon was not recovered,
ballistic evidence presented at trial linked bullets recovered at or
near the scene to those at another shooting in which Davis was also
charged.
