MIAMI — CBS News Miami obtained exclusive body camera footage of an Opa-locka city commission candidate shortly after he was reportedly shot at earlier this week.
And the victim, Chris Davis, told CBS News Miami on Friday night he believes the attack on his life was politically motivated. He said what started as a walk to the corner store near his home ended with him running away to the sound of gunshots.
“I was walking to the store,” explained Davis, as we saw on police body cam footage when he was speaking with Opa-Locka Police officers later Wednesday night. “The guy exchanges words with me. He approaches me and puts up his fist.”
Davis told Opa-Locka Police about a fight with two people he knew.
Ring camera footage CBS News Miami obtained from late Wednesday on Rutland Street showed heavy police presence around Davis’ home. The arrest reporting mentioned police were responding to a battery involving three people with minor injuries.
