The Larry Davis Police Shootout

Who is Larry Davis?
Larry Davis (born May 28, 1966), who changed his name to Adam Abdul-Hakeem in 1989, shot six New York City police officers on November 19, 1986 when they raided his sister's Bronx, New York apartment, allegedly to arrest him on charges of murdering five drug dealers. Davis's defense in the shootings would be that the raid was staged to murder him based on his knowledge of the involvement of corrupt police in the drug business. With the help of family contacts and street friends, he eluded capture for the next 17 days despite a massive manhunt. Once the search was narrowed to a single building, he took several hostages but surrendered to police when the presence of reporters assured him he would not be harmed. His ability to survive the shootout, though outnumbered, and to elude capture in the subsequent massive manhunt gained him near folk hero status in some quarters. Davis was found guilty of weapons possession and murder and is serving 30 years to life in prison [Ref:Wikipedia]
