Detective Michael David Davis Jr., 42, was killed on October 24, 2014, in Sacramento, California, after being shot while responding during a massive manhunt for the murderer of Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver. Davis, a 15-year veteran of the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, and his partner approached a stopped vehicle off Maidu Drive after the suspects had carjacked a vehicle and fled up Interstate 80. A male suspect fired an AR-15 at the officers; both were hit.

Detective Davis was taken to a local hospital and later died of his wounds. The female accomplice was arrested at the scene and the male suspect fled into a nearby residential area before being apprehended several hours later. Detective Davis is survived by his wife and four children; his father, Investigator Michael Davis Sr., had also been killed in the line of duty on October 24, 1988.

Does anyone have memories of Detective Davis or information that could shed more light on his service and the events that day?
