UPDATE: The teen accused of killing his parents at Central Michigan University last week had escaped from an area hospital just hours before police say he shot his parents in his dorm room according to Isabella county dispatch recordings.
It was reported that James Eric Davis Jr. was hospitalized last Thursday after police said he wasn't making sense and was on drugs around 1:30 in the morning.
According to dispatch audio, Davis escaped from the hospital around 3 a.m.
An officer located him and brought him back about 15 minutes later.
Later in the morning, Davis Junior was discharged into the care of his parents.
Police say he left his dorm room, went to the parking lot, grabbed a gun thought to be his fathr's, and came back to his dorm in Campbell Hall and killed his parents.
He was arrested after a 15-hour manhunt over the weekend.
Davis Junior had been recovering in the hospital for hypothermia all week but he's since been booked into the Isabella County Jail on murder charges.
A train conductor had called 911 when he spotted Davis Jr. in his underwear, hours after the shooting. Chris Bagwell, president of Great Lakes Central Railroad, says the crew wondered if he might try to jump on the train.
The 19-year-old sparked a massive manhunt after allegedly shooting and killing his parents, James Davis Sr. and Diva Davis, at Campbell Hall last Friday morning.
Davis Jr. was arraigned on two counts of open murder and one felony firearms charge on Tuesday. He is being held on $1.25 million bond.
His next court date is scheduled for April 5th.
A funeral for Davis Jr.'s parents is set for Saturday in Broadview, Illinois.
