A 60-year-old retired cancer survivor, living in Henderson, Nevada, with his wife for nine years, found himself at the center of legal controversy when authorities executed a warrant against him. Despite being a family man with adult children and grandchildren, his circumstances were not fully disclosed to the court.

His legal team argued in a motion, “The court was not informed of these details,” suggesting that this omission led to a decision to authorize a nighttime search based on an inaccurate portrayal of Davis, which they claim was a “clearly erroneous factual determination.”

Attorneys for Davis argue that his arrest is linked to misleading public statements he made, claiming he was present in the white Cadillac from which the fatal shots at Tupac Shakur were fired. They assert that Davis has never provided concrete evidence to confirm his presence in the vehicle, suggesting he gained some advantage from maintaining this narrative.

His attorneys claim Davis’ arrest stems from false public statements Davis had made in which he claimed to be present in the white Cadillac from which Shakur was shot.

They say he has never offered details that would firmly corroborate his presence in the car, and that he benefited from saying he was present.

He dodged drug charges by telling the story in a proffer agreement, and he has made money by repeating it in documentaries and his 2019 book, according to his attorneys.

“Think of it this way: Shakur’s murder was essentially the entertainment world’s JFK assassination — endlessly dissected, mythologised, monetised”

“So it’s not hard to see why someone in Davis’s position might falsely place himself at the centre of it all for personal gain,” his attorneys wrote.
