NEW YORK — A 58-year-old Maryland man faces charges, including murder, for allegedly killing a woman over a parking space at a Brooklyn Home Depot, the local district attorney’s office said.
Quincy James, Davis, of Gwynn Oak, was arraigned last week on an indictment charging him with second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. . Davis was ordered held without bail and will return to court on January 19, 2024.
If convicted, he faces 25 years to life in prison. Davis’ attorney information was not immediately known.
The charges Davis faces are related to an incident that allegedly occurred last month.
According to District Attorney Eric Gonzalez’s office, citing the investigation, on Sept. 9 around noon, Davis allegedly got into a dispute with a 35-year-old man over a parking space in a Home Depot parking lot in Bed-Stuy. After allegedly parking his car, the man entered Home Depot. Davis also allegedly entered the store but then turned around and left.
When the man left the store and returned to his parked car, where his girlfriend, Imani Sharpless, 26, was waiting, and turned a corner, Davis allegedly approached the car, walked around to the driver’s side and opened fire.
The driver suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and back, while Sharpless was shot in the head. She was taken to Kings County Hospital, where she died a few days later, on September 14.
Davis was subsequently arrested on September 26 in Brooklyn following an investigation.
“Imani Sharpless was a young woman with her entire life ahead of her,” Gonzalez said in a statement. “She died senselessly after this defendant allegedly callously opened fire on two innocent people over a minor dispute, leaving her family and friends heartbroken.” “We will now seek to bring the accused to justice.”
