Early life
While at a juvenile detention center, Davis was sexually abused by one of the attendants and at least one other inmate. The courts later said the attack that Davis suffered from the fellow inmate was similar to how he assaulted one of his victims.Murders
On January 10, 1983, Davis confronted a 15-year-old boy at gunpoint, wrapped a wire around his neck, then forced him to perform oral sex. He then pistol-whipped him unconscious. The boy would recover from the attack and identify Davis. On June 16, 1983, Davis confronted 14-year-old Darrin Reed at knifepoint after the two shared a beer. Davis wrapped a wire around Reed's neck, performed oral sex on him, and then strangled him to death. On June 18, 1983, two 15-year-old boys, including one named Jeff Lopez, were camping when they saw Davis in the woods. Davis was smokingLegal proceedings
Davis was charged with two counts of murder for killing Reed and Lopez and two counts of attempted murder for the assaults on the surviving victims.

On December 8, 1993, his sentences for the murder convictions were reduced to 60 years each. All of the sentences ran consecutively, leaving Davis with 220 years to serve in prison.
