A 60-year-old retired cancer survivor, who had been living in Henderson, near Las Vegas, for nearly a decade, was caught off guard when a warrant was executed. He resided there with his wife, surrounded by his adult children and grandchildren.

“The court was not informed of any of this,” his legal team stated in a recent motion.

“This led to the court approving a nighttime search based on a misleading portrayal of Davis that was far from the truth—a clear factual error,” the attorneys argued.

His legal representatives contend that Davis’s arrest is a result of misleading public comments he made, claiming he was in the white Cadillac involved in the shooting of Tupac Shakur.

According to his attorneys, he has never provided concrete evidence to support his claim of being in the vehicle, yet he has gained from making such statements.

They assert that he avoided drug-related charges by sharing his story as part of a plea agreement and subsequently profited from it through documentaries and his 2019 book.

“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.
