FOND DU LAC, Wi (WTAQ-WLUK)– District Attorney Eric Toney announced Friday that a Fond du Lac County jury convicted Gary E. Davis of first degree intentional homicide (dangerous weapon and repeater), Mayhem (dangerous weapon and repeater), and hiding a corpse (repeater).
The charges come from the burial slaying of his ex girlfriend, Jacquelyn Rooney, on November 9, 2022 in Fond du Lac.
Rooney’s body was found covered in her locked apartment with 14 stab wounds and multiple blunt force injuries to her head.
The jury listened to five days of testimony and took approximately 40 minutes to reach their verdicts.
Judge Douglas Edelstein revoked bond and ordered a pre-sentence investigation report.
A sentencing date has not yet been set.
The first degree intentional homicide conviction requires that Davis will be sentenced for life in prison and the judge will determine if Davis will be eligible for release.
On counts and 2 and 3, Davis faces 49.5 years of initial confinement and 20 years of extended supervision.
This case was investigated by the City of Fond du Lac Police Department, with assistance from the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office, the Grand Chute Police Department and the Wisconsin Crime Lab. The case was prosecuted by District Attorney Eric Toney.
