Perry Dennis Davis Jr., 46, is being treated at Washington Regional Medical Center, according to J.C. Wiseman, Bentonville Police Department detective.
Police believe Davis shot himself after shooting and killing his 44-year-old wife, Kelly. Police were called to the couple’s home at 804 S.W. Ouachita Drive at 5:21 p.m. Aug. 19 in connection with a domestic disturbance.
Kelly Davis’ body was found in the home after police entered almost five hours after her 911 call. Police entered the home after Perry Davis called 911, claiming he had been shot and needed assistance.
Perry Davis was first taken to Northwest Medical Center-Bentonville then to Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville. He later was transferred to the University of Arkansas for Medical Science Medical Center in Little Rock.
Perry Davis is being treated for a gunshot wound to the head. Davis was moved back to Washington Regional about a week ago, Wiseman said.
“His condition is improving,” Wiseman said. “He still has not been arrested because he’s still receiving medical care.”
Police aren’t releasing the 911 calls in connection with the incident. Prosecutors also have obtained a court order sealing the warrants in connection with the case.
