Jimmy Davidson Jr., 58, is jailed without bond on a charge of criminal homicide in connection with what he described as a physical fight that ended in the death of his girlfriend, Elois McCormick, 66, inside their apartment at 1405 Jackson Street. McCormick is believed to have died from blunt force trauma and strangulation.
Davidson went to General Hospital Friday night and told staff there that McCormick was inside the apartment unconscious and needed medical attention. Hospital staff called police. Officers found McCormick lying by the front door deceased with bruising to her face, jaw and neck.
The investigation shows that Davidson made two trips to a nearby dumpster before going to General Hospital. Inside the dumpster, detectives found a mop, cleaning bleach, mail addressed to McCormick, and several cans and bottles of alcohol.
