In news from New York, a prisoner who once gained notoriety for shooting six New York police officers has died after being stabbed to death in prison. Larry Davis made headlines in 1986 when a team of police officers stormed his Bronx apartment in an attempt to arrest him on drug-related charges. Davis shot six of the officers and managed to escape. He then remained on the run for seventeen days. During his days as a fugitive, Davis became a folk hero to some in New York. Attorney Ronald Kuby said, ’’He was a symbol of resistance in a dangerous and racially polarized city where white cops could — and did — kill black people with impunity.” At the time of his death, Davis was serving a sentence of twenty-five years to life for the fatal shooting of a drug dealer.
