Atlantic City man admits to attempted murder
Normalized · Friday, February 23, 2024
Kevin Davis, 38, of Atlantic City pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted murder and second-degree possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose in connection with a 2019 shooting that wounded a 54-year-old man on Green Street. He is already serving a 48-year prison sentence in a separate fentanyl-production case, and the expected 15-year sentence in the shooting case is set to run concurrent to his current sentences.
An Atlantic City man already serving a 48-year sentence for running a drug-production facility now faces an additional 15 years after admitting to a 2019 shooting. Kevin Davis, 38, pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree attempted murder and second-degree possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose. Prosecutors said Davis shot a 54-year-old man in the stomach on Sept. 13, 2019, in the 600 block of Green Street in Atlantic City, then fled on a bicycle. The Atlantic City Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit identified Davis after collecting surveillance footage from numerous locations. By tracing the footage backward, investigators identified the Atlantic City home Davis entered after the shooting. Police executed a search warrant at his home on Oct. 3, 2019. According to the report, they found the clothing Davis wore during the shooting, a loaded handgun that was different from the one used in the shooting, and a large amount of fentanyl and fentanyl-packaging paraphernalia. Davis was not arrested until 10 months later, after Detective Anthony Abrams received information that he was at a park in the 100 block of Melrose Avenue, police said at the time. In March, a jury convicted Davis on 15 counts in a separate case, including first-degree maintaining a fentanyl-production facility, second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun in furtherance of fentanyl production and distribution, possession of a handgun by a previously convicted person, and resisting arrest by flight. He was sentenced to 48 years in prison and is currently in New Jersey State Prison. Court records show Davis also served a 10-year prison sentence in 2005 after admitting to another attempted murder. Last May, he admitted to committing a home invasion in Absecon in October 2019 with the same handgun used during the 2019 shooting. He received a concurrent 10-year sentence with 8½ years of parole ineligibility. His co-defendants in that case, Mark Toulson and Kalim Selby, pleaded guilty midtrial to armed robbery and were each sentenced to 10 years in state prison with 8½ years of parole ineligibility. Davis is expected to be sentenced in absentia in April, and his sentence in the attempted murder case will run concurrent to his current sentences.
