CBS News provided a short biography on Davis:

Davis was a leader of the South Side Compton Crips gang when he planned his revenge against Shukar, police said. In 2019, he released a tell-all memoir called “Compton Street Legend.”

In the memoir, he said he had risen up the ranks at the South California notorious gang to become a “shot caller,” and was running a multimillion-dollar drug empire nationwide.

Born in Watts, California, Davis and his family moved to Compton, then a “middle-class family-oriented neighborhood for Black families,” he said.
