That person also either gave the list to Davis’ son or Davis himself passed it on. The list was “distributed for what can only be surmised as a means of dissuasion,” the prosecutors said.

Prosecutors claim that during a recorded jailhouse conversation between Davis and his son on October 9, the two talked about an authorization to kill which reportedly caused officials to become so worried about one of their witnesses’ safety that they chose to move him as a means of witness protection.

“I got something to tell you about some sh*t that’s going on,” prosecutors quote Davis’ son telling his father on the call.

His son, according to prosecutors, replied, “Around the city, they talking about it’s a green light on our side.”
