“We have murder, kidnapping, multiple stolen vehicles, and numerous fleeing from law enforcement, Sergeant Savage said.
Glynn County Sergeant Heather Savage said he is now considered a primary person of interest in a murder that occurred early Wednesday morning.
Sergeant Savage shared dash cam footage from a driver that captured Davis driving dangerously in a stolen Dodge Charger- that he took from a man he kidnapped back in August.
“It shows him going to speed over 120 mph through a very busy intersection. He is not showing care in the world for anyone else that was there in the intersection.”

That isn’t the only kidnapping he’s accused of - Sergeant Savage said he abducted a woman and nearly beat her to death.
In all this time, she said Davis has managed to evade law enforcement not once, but eight separate times.
“This goes from attempted traffic stops to fleeing on foot.
