According to court documents filed in Marion County, officers were conducting surveillance on Davis when they saw Davis and three other individuals inside a Cadillac. Officials said that all four were wearing masks and holding semi-automatic handguns.
At one point, the individuals in the Cadillac spotted detectives and eventually shot an SUV where detectives were. The documents said that the gunfire hit the SUV as well as a nearby house. After the shooting, law enforcement officials on the scene continued to follow the Cadillac and eventually used a grappler to stop the vehicle and detain the occupants.
