An investigation of the drive-by shooting that occurred on Interstate 10 near 43rd Avenue just after 2 p.m. on April 10 led to the identification of Davis as the suspect and subsequent arrest.
Authorities say Davis was maneuvering in an erratic manner and swerved across multiple lanes before cutting off the victim’s vehicle and nearly causing a collision.
Davis then allowed the victim’s vehicle to catch up and then fired several shots, striking the victim’s vehicle, authorities said.
