Father and Son Convicted in Postal Worker Murder | Dayton News

A federal jury convicted father and son Kaprise and Thomas Sledge in the brutal murder of U.S. Postal Service letter carrier Jont’e Davis, who was shot while delivering mail in Warren, Ohio. The duo tracked Davis for over an hour before ambushing him in a gray Dodge Ram, with eyewitnesses and forensic evidence linking them to the crime. Both were also found guilty of using a firearm during a violent crime — a serious charge given the victim’s role as a federal employee. Investigators uncovered additional drug trafficking evidence at Kaprise’s home, hinting at broader criminal motives. Sentencing is scheduled for December 10, 2026, with possible life sentences and mandatory minimums looming. This verdict offers closure to Davis’s family and the postal community after a harrowing, two-week trial. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
