An Atlantic City man already serving 48 years for running a drug-production facility was sentenced to 15 years for attempted murder Monday.
Kevin Davis, 38, of Atlantic City, previously admitted in February to shooting a man in the stomach Sept. 13, 2019.
Davis fled the scene on a bike.
The Atlantic City Police Department's Violent Crimes Unit identified him after retrieving surveillance footage from numerous locations. By backtracking through the footage, police identified the home in Atlantic City that Davis entered after the shooting.
A warranted search of his home was conducted Oct. 3, 2019.
At that time, police found the clothing Davis wore at the time of the shooting, along with a loaded handgun that was different than the one used in the shooting, along with a large amount of fentanyl and fentanyl-packaging paraphernalia.
Davis must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence under the No Early Release Act.
Davis already was in New Jersey State Prison after he was convicted at trial in March 2023, on 15 counts, including first-degree maintaining a fentanyl-production facility, second-degree unlawful possession of a handgun in the furtherance of fentanyl production and distribution, possession of a handgun by a previously convicted person and resisting arrest by flight.
He was sentenced to 48 years in prison.
Davis also served a 10-year prison sentence in 2005, after admitting to another attempted murder, court records show.
Last May, he admitted to committing a home invasion in Absecon in October 2019 with
the same handgun that he used during the 2019 shooting. He was given a concurrent term of 10 years in New Jersey State Prison with 8½ years of parole ineligibility.
Davis’ two co-defendants on that case, Mark Toulson and Kalim Selby, pleaded guilty midtrial to armed robbery and each was sentenced to 10 years in New Jersey
State Prison with 8½ years of parole ineligibility.
