A metro Atlanta woman is in jail because of a rash decision to kill her roommate over a missed ride after partying. According to police, Charles Rudison, 21, was stabbed to death by Breyana Davis, age 22, at the apartment the two shared.
The altercation occurred this past weekend when Davis, Rudison and a mutual friend hit the party scene in downtown Atlanta. As the night went on, Davis left her friends, which forced them to get a ride home using the Lyft service. Upon arriving back at the apartment in DeKalb County, Georgia, near Atlanta, Rudison and Davis got into a heated argument within minutes. Davis claimed initially that Rudison attacked her first by pushing her, causing her to fall. In retaliation, she took an 8-inch long butcher knife and stabbed Rudison. However, the unidentified friend told a different story to police. The friend stated that when they came into the apartment Rudison simply asked Davis why she left them in downtown Atlanta. According to the police report, “At that moment the suspect grabbed a pot of boiling water from the stove and threw it on the victim. She then grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the chest.”
The whole incident took just seconds to unfold and when police arrived Rudison was on the floor unresponsive and the bloody knife was in the kitchen sink.
Davis has now been charged with murder and remains in the DeKalb County Jail.
Friends of Rudison are heartbroken over his death and described him as funny, introspective and had a self-deprecating personality. A recent post on his Facebook page reads, “I really don’t have family like that. So if I consider you my friend, to me you are essentially my family member. So I may come off as a bit sensitive and harsh if I am feeling neglected and left out, because you all really don’t know how much you mean to me and it hurts that I’m not categorized as the same . please understand that you all are the only family I really have and like most families there will be arguments and periods of disagreements but it will always be love no matter how inconsistent our relationship is. I just have this unrealistic expectation that people will think of me the same way I think of them.”
