The long running crime show America’s Most Wanted tonight described Thomas Tyrone “Tomcat” Davis as a mentor to the last suspect wanted in his murder, Jimmie Lee Mason Jr.
The segment also details how Jenlee Foster’s child is now in the care of her sister after Foster was also shot and killed on September 4.
The show says Foster gave birth in 2010 to a baby girl named Nevaeh after trying for years with Davis.
“Nevaeh was a godsend,” Jessica Burnette, Foster’s sister, told the show. “So they named her Nevaeh because that’s heaven spelled backwards.”
The show specifically mentions Davis’s marijuana dealing, despite the child in their lives. It reported Foster wanted him to stop.

Mugshot used in show.
Davis, however, continued to sell and associate with Mason, who is described as a protégée. It also says Davis promised to befriend Mason after his father, Jimmie Mason Sr., went to prison in 2006 when his son was 13.
On the night of the murder, the show reports, Davis invited Mason to their home. As Foster put the baby to bed, Mason and another man, Aaron Mills, drove up and Mason went inside.
The show quotes the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office as saying Mason waited until Davis’ back was turned, and then shot him in the neck, killing him.
Foster, who was holding the baby, came in the room to see what happened and Mason then allegedly shot her while she held the child.
Another detail in the broadcast that investigators did not share with local media was that Mason allegedly left the house after robbing it but came back when he heard Foster screaming for help. “That’s when,” according to the show, “He allegedly executed her with one more shot, leaving Neveaeh an orphan.”
Paramedics could not resuscitate Foster.
“I knew when I saw my neighbors giving her CPR that she was dead,” the show quotes Burnette as saying. “I felt my whole world was taken from me.”
The show says Mill identified Mason as the alleged shooter.
With Burnette now taking care of the child, she told the show, “I think of her as my own.”
Burnette told the show she plans to tell the child some day what happened.
Mason could be in New Jersey, Maryland, South Carolina or Greensboro.
