Officials say Davenport stabbed Hines, 33, in the chest 16 times just before 3 a.m. on Sunday. Eyewitnesses reported the man seemed to be carrying out a bizarre exorcism-like ritual. Neighbor George Hudacko reported hearing Davenport yelling, "Get out, devils! I cast you out, devils! In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast you out! Jesus Christ is born!"
