Police stopped his vehicle on Interstate 64 in Cabell County and found a .40 caliber handgun and several shell casings inside. Davis admitted he shot King and fled the scene and that he sold crack cocaine on Charleston's West Side. He was prohibited from possessing a firearm because of a 2009 domestic battery conviction in Kanawha County. Davis faced a maximum 30-year sentence.
