Atlantic City man convicted on 15 counts in drug, gun case


  • News

A jury convicted an Atlantic City man on 15 counts in a case involving a fentanyl production facility and a handgun.

Kevin Davis, now 37, still has pending charges from an attempted murder in a shooting weeks before his home was raided.

Davis' home was searched Oct. 3, 2019, after Detectives Joseph Procopio and Innocenzo Visceglia obtained a search warrant.

A substantial quantity of fentanyl, packaging materials and a loaded handgun with a high-capacity magazine were found in his bedroom.

Davis fled police on a bicycle, but was arrested a few blocks away, near the Boys and Girls Club on Pennsylvania Avenue.

He had more than 100 folds of fentanyl packaged for sale on him. That led to additional charges, including distribution within a school zone and near a public park.

Davis was found guilty on all of those counts, and faces as long as life in prison when he is sentenced April 18.

Eleven months after his arrest in the drug case, Davis allegedly shot a 54-year-old man Sept. 13, 2019, in the 600 block of Green Street.

He was not arrested in that case Aug. 28, 2020, after he had been released in the drug and gun case.
