According to a criminal complaint, video surveillance shows Davis in a parked black Dodge Neon and two individuals approach him. Investigators say Davis drove off as one of the individuals "lunged into the driver's seat."
Police said Davis intentionally drove with the 34-year-old man hanging onto the outside of his car and crashed into a vehicle near 10th and North. The 34-year-old man died from injuries he sustained in the crash.
