“After further investigation, the driver’s clothing was the same as the male who shot Milan Loncar hours prior,” Philadelphia police said.
Authorities identified Davis as the shooter. He’s been charged with murder and other offences. It’s not clear if he has obtained an attorney.
Criminal Record
Davis was released from jail at the end of December after his bail was reduced on unrelated felony charges, according to NBC Philadelphia.
Court records show that his bail on an aggravated assault charge was reduced from $200,000 to $12,000; his bail from a robbery and car theft was reduced to $20,000.
Investigation
Philadelphia Police Inspector Derrick Wood slammed the decision to reduce Davis’ bail.
“This male was on the street with two open felony cases because his bail was reduced from 200K to 12K.
This is ridiculous and another example of bail decisions that are being made without considering the safety of the community,” he tweeted. “Consequences matter.”
