Gervonta Davis faces 14 counts in hit-and-run incident that injured four people

Lightweight star faces up to 7-plus years in prison if convicted

Lightweight and junior lightweight world titlist Gervonta Davis, one of boxing’s young stars — but one with a litany past arrests and legal problems — found himself in more trouble on Monday when the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office charged him with 14 counts of various traffic violations that occurred during an alleged hit-and-run in Baltimore that left four people injured on Nov. 5.

According to the court, Davis, 26, of Baltimore, has been charged with:

1. Four counts of Failure to immediately return and remain at scene of accident involving bodily injury (faces 1 year).

2. Failure of driver involved in accident to render reasonable assistance to injured person (60 days).

3. Failure of vehicle driver involved in accident to furnish ID and license (60 days).

4. Failure of vehicle driver involved in accident to exhibit license to police (60 days).

5. Failure of vehicle driver involved in accident to report to nearest police (60 days).

6. Failure of vehicle driver in accident to locate and notify owner of unattended property of damage (60 days).

7. Failure of vehicle driver in accident to furnish required ID information in writing on unattended vehicle property (60 days).

8. Person driving motor vehicle on highway on suspended license and privilege (1 year).

9. Person driving motor vehicle on highway on revoked license and privilege (1 year).

10. Driving motor vehicle on highway without required license and authorization (60 days).

11. Driver failed to stop at steady circular red signal.

If convicted of all charges, Davis faces a potential maximum of 7 years and 55 days in prison.

The court also released details of the incident, which occurred at approximately 1:55 a.m.

According to the court, Baltimore City police officers responded to a two-vehicle collision at Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and Washington Blvd. The collision was between a 2020 Lamborghini Uris and a 2004 Toyota Solara. At 1:47 a.m., the red light camera located at Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and 700 Washington Blvd. showed the Lamborghini traveling southbound on MLK when the vehicle drove through the red light and struck the front passenger side of the Toyota Solara traveling westbound on Washington Blvd. with a green signal. The video captured from a nearby convenience store showed the Lamborghini collide directly into the store’s fence. Witnesses identified the driver as Davis.

Following the collision, witness accounts and video gathered during the investigation also revealed that a black Camaro arrived at the scene of crash and people began transferring items from the Lamborghini to the Camaro. Allegedly, Davis and an unidentified female passenger were captured on camera leaving the scene in the Camaro.

Four occupants of the Toyota Solara were injured as a result of the collision and were transported to University of Maryland Shock Trauma.

“Fortunately, the victims in this case were able to survive this alleged hit and run collision with recoverable injuries despite the potential for a far worst scenario,” said State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby. “My office will continue to do our part to hold reckless drivers accountable when their harmful actions put innocent lives in jeopardy.”

Davis (24-0, 23 KOs) is coming off his biggest victory on Oct. 31 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where he headlined a Showtime PPV card and knocked out Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round to retain his secondary lightweight belt and take Santa Cruz’s junior lightweight title. The alleged hit-and-run took place five days later.

Davis still faces three domestic violence charges in Miami stemming from an incident in February 2020 during Super Bowl week.
