On the night of January 6, Christopher and Channon had dinner together at a local restaurant.  Afterwards, Channon spoke with her mother and told her they were going to a friend's house to watch a movie.  At some point during the trip, the couple was hijacked, bound and blindfolded and taken back to Davidson's apartment.  Due to a virtual media blackout, what happened next is not yet clear.  Some media reports suggest that prior to the murders Christopher's penis was cut off and Channon's breasts were removed, however the police department refuses to comment on these alleged aspects of the crimes.  The few details we can piece together are taken from various media reports and the official indictments.

Once back at Davidson's apartment, several people allegedly raped Christopher in front of his girlfriend.  Afterwards, he was shot multiple times.  His body was then set on fire, in an apparent attempt to cover up evidence, and dumped near the railroad tracks.

When the perpetrators were finished with Christopher, they allegedly turned their attention to Channon.  For two days, she was beaten, gang raped and at times urinated upon.  When her killers finally had their fill of her, they poured bleach down her throat, in an attempt to cover up evidence, and shot her multiple times.  As with Christopher, they set her body on fire; however, for unknown reasons, they did not dump her body but instead placed it in a trashcan inside the apartment.
