Herbert Davon Oree

Columbia Police Chief Skip Holbrook announces that a Crimestoppers tip has led to the arrest of an attempted murder suspect.

Herbert Davon Oree (DOB: 1-19-1996) is charged with Three Counts of Attempted Murder, First Degree Burglary, Arson-Third Degree and Possession of a Weapon during the Commission of a Violent Crime.

Oree was located and arrested by CPD’s Fugitive Team, Richland County Sheriff’s Department deputies (RCSD) and the SC Law Enforcement Division (SLED) agents inside a room at the Economy Inn on Broad River Road near I-20 last night.

Officers had been searching for Oree since May 22, 2016 when he allegedly broke into a Bailey Street home, stabbed three people and set part of the home’s interior on fire. The flames were quickly extinguished by the victims and did not spread to the remainder of the house.

Oree remains at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center (ASGDC). Please contact the ASGDC for a current booking photograph of Oree.

All persons arrested/charged are presumed innocent until or unless proven guilty in a court of law.
