After examining the surveillance video from the gas station, a detective uncovered some crucial details. According to the complaint, at approximately 11:47 p.m. on Monday, a red SUV drove into the rear of the gas station and parked. Subsequently, a woman exited the driver’s seat of the SUV, and moments later, Davis walked into the frame. The woman briefly returned to the SUV before walking back towards Davis. Suddenly, in the video, Davis appeared to lurch backward, and his white hat fell off, suggesting that he was either punched or swung at by the female subject.
