Davis was sentenced to life in prison in 1972, following his role in the murders of Donald “Shorty” Shea, a 35-year-old Hollywood stuntman, and Gary Hinman, a 34-year-old musician and a friend of several Manson family members.
Davis was not the direct killer of either victim and faced no accusations of involvement in the home-invasion slayings that claimed the lives of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four other people.
This is a developing story.
