"He was a good kid, always," DeYoung told the newspaper. "You would never expect something like this to come from James."
"He was a good kid, always. You would never expect something like this to come from James."
The 19-year-old was arrested shortly after midnight Saturday after a daylong search by police, who said parents James Eric Davis Sr. and Diva Davis were fatally shot Friday morning inside Campbell Hall at CMU.
Logan Ludy said he played basketball in high school with Davis Jr., Fox 2 Detroit reported.
"Just from knowing him for a brief time, I didn't think that would happen," he said. "It is unbelievable."
Other friends told the station that Davis was quiet, polite, and "the product of a good family."
Jordan Murphy was a longtime friend of Davis Sr., who brought his son to Murphy's home on several occasions, the Tribune reported.
"Junior was a very respectful man, raised by upstanding parents, who would do anything to protect him and his siblings," Murphy said. "This is an incredibly tragic event, and I pray for Eric's other children. This is so incredibly out of character, something went wrong somewhere."
Juan Leal and his family spent a lot of time with the Davis family, Fox 2 Detroit reported.
"They were a loving, close family, and they were really proud of him going to college," Leal told the station.
Neighbors said Diva Davis was a "wonderful mother," the station reported.
Murphy also told the Tribune that Davis Jr.'s parents were loving and "ever-present parents who doted on their children."
