A 16-year-old Washington State teenager went from missing to a murder suspect last week in just a few days, PEOPLE confirms.
Early last week, Gabriel Michael Davis was reported missing after he disappeared while on his way to soccer practice.
Davis was found late Thursday after his vehicle was discovered abandoned near Millersylvania State Park in Olympia.
As of Friday night, Davies was being held at a juvenile detention center in Tacoma.
Davies is a suspect in the murder of a 51-year-old Orting man who was found shot to death on September 1.
According to charging documents obtained by PEOPLE, Davies is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
Justin Yoon, 16, also faces the same charges in connection with the murder. Both Davies and Yoon will be charged as adults, according to the district attorney’s office.
Police were sent to the victim’s residence to check on his welfare after he failed to show up for work for four days.
Detectives believe the man, who has not been named, had been dead for at least 24 hours.

The Tacoma News Tribune reports that police confirmed the victim and Davies knew each other.
Davis became the subject of an intensive search when he was reported missing early Wednesday.
The newspaper reports that police found a small amount of blood in Davis’ abandoned vehicle, as well as a broken cell phone nearby.
It is unclear whether Davies and Yoon have entered pleas to their charges or have an attorney who can speak on their behalf.
