Friday's announcement by the Baltimore State’s Attorney ended a controversial case against Keith Davis Jr. that repeatedly raised questions about police and prosecutorial conduct.
BALTIMORE — Baltimore’s new top prosecutor dropped all charges Friday against a Black man who stood trial four times for the same killing, freeing him from behind bars and ending a controversial case that repeatedly raised questions about police and prosecutorial conduct.
Keith Davis Jr. was accused of murdering Pimlico Race Course security guard Kevin Jones in 2015, after police claimed his gun matched casings from the shooting scene. Before arresting Davis, officers shot him multiple times, leaving him badly wounded. He survived and has maintained his innocence ever since.
