Davis, 19, is charged with an open count of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder and possession of a firearm during a felony, Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur Busch said. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison without parole.
Authorities used several eyewitness reports to bring the charges, Busch said. At least three other suspects were still being sought. "There was more than one person who fired a gun, and several people witnessed the act," Busch said.
"We had a lot of people in the community giving us information."
Police said two vehicles stopped in front of a Flint home about 2 a.m. Sunday and opened fire, shooting Herbert Cleaves, 27, in the abdomen.
