Keontae Davidson Sentenced to Life in Prison for Role in Brutal 2020 Murder

District Attorney Daryl Bailey announced today that Keontae Davidson has been sentenced to serve life in prison for his role in the brutal death of Lesley Luna Pantaleon.

The murder occurred in June of 2020 during which Davidson and his co-defendants beat and stabbed the victim numerous times before throwing her into a creek while she was still alive. The victim’s body was discovered in the creek on July 4, 2020, and was badly decomposed. Davidson pled guilty to murder and Judge Jimmy Pool sentenced him to life in prison this week.

District Attorney Daryl Bailey expressed his appreciation to Deputy District Attorney Katie Langer and the Montgomery Police Department for their work in bringing justice to Lesley Luna Pantaleon and her family.

DA Bailey said: “I am proud that the hard work of the Montgomery Police Department and my office has resulted in this violent criminal no longer walking the streets of Montgomery. The amount of brutality this innocent victim endured clearly warrants Judge Pool’s sentence and I thank him for the decision he made to send Keontae Davidson to prison for the rest of his life. Montgomery is a safer place with him removed from our community. I want to use this opportunity to once again remind all violent criminals that if you commit a violent crime in Montgomery County, you are going to be arrested, prosecuted, and sent to prison for a very long time.”
