On November 6, 2017, following a verbal exchange, Davis shot 42-year-old Christopher Moody in the chest as Mr. Moody sat in his car in the 2100 block of N. Olive Street. The victim managed to drive off after being shot but crashed about a block away into an unoccupied parked car, where Denver firefighters responding to a report of a car accident found him.  Moody was transported to Denver Health Medical Center, but died of his gunshot wound.
