Alex Tristen Francis, who used to play on his team, has been charged with killing him. His bond was set at $350,000 by a judge. The victim’s mother, Kathy Davis, said, “What? Come on, you’ve got the wrong guy.” “I couldn’t believe it when I said, “That’s his best friend!”
Davis was shocked to hear that the best friend of her son had been accused of killing him. Also she said that on the night of the shooting, he was spending the night at his house, which was something they did often.
What Mother Of Terry Petry Has To Say?
Her mother says that the two were close friends after they played football together at Ridge Point High School.
Davis said, “He slept on my couch.” “Just the other night, he was at my house.” Petry was one of Ridge Point’s best players. He was named to the first team of all-district and was named the MVP of the district. He got his diploma in 2017.
Davis said that she and her family cheered at every game and never missed one. The University of Missouri gave him a scholarship because of how smart he was. He left school a year before graduation and went to Blinn College and Texas Southern University for a year each. Davis’s injuries kept him from playing the game he loved, but he was always proud.

She said, “He was a blessing.” “I have four children, and he is the only one who graduated from high school and went to college for almost four years.”
Davis had asked the parents of one of her son’s teammates in high school to help raise and care for Petry. April Staton and her husband, Patrick Hampton, thought of Petry as a second son, and the two families became close very quickly.
