I showed QQQMMGBF 2 photo spread with MICHAEL LEON DAVIS and five other black males with similar facial characteristics and he picked MICHAEL LEON DAYIS’s photo but said that he was only 50% sure because “Smokey” looked bigger in the photo than what he remembered him looking like in person, The photo of MICHAEL LEON DAVIS in the photo spread was different from the photo shown to him in 2007. 8, ‘That on 03/05/2010, I, Detective T'S.

MICHAEL LEON DAVIS agreed to voluntarily ‘come to 350 W, Belknap to be interviewed, During the video tecorded interview, MICHAEL, ‘LEON DAVIS told me about nuinerous conversations he had with “Dre”, where “Dre” admitted to killing Glotia Choice. MICHAEL LEON DAVIS gave conflicting stories when he gave his statements about what “Dre” told him. MICHAEL LEON DAVIS also never made mention of hearing that “Dre” killed Gloria from a guy named “Jason” near the Zoom In store, like he mentioned in 2005. During the jnterview MICHAEL LEON DAVIS changed his story ‘numerous times, including when he last saw Glotia Choice alive. At the beginning of the interview MICHAEL LEON DAVIS said that he was never in the vacant apartment that Gloria was found in, then later changed his story and said that he was actually in that same apartment the day before Gloria died. At the end of the interview MICHAEL LEON DAVIS said that he lied about what “Dre” had told him and the real reason he tured “Dre” in was because a ‘crack head” named “Star” told him that “Dre” did it. MICHAEL LEON DAVIS said that “Stax” told him that she, Glosia and “Dre” were in that vacant apartment togetber when Gloria and “Dre” went to the back bedroom to have sex. “Stat” told him that she heard a moan ora scream from Gloria and then saw “Dre” walk out of the room with a tan brick in his hand saying “Fuck that ol’ bitch!” MICHAEL LEON DAVIS said that “Star” said that she looked in the room and saw Gloria on the ground.

Belknap to be interviewed. After the interview where @QGMGUBS? denied any involvement in Gloria Choices murder, he submitted to a polygraph and passed. 10, That on 03/11/2010, MICHAEL LEON DAVIS met me again and voluntarily agreed to another interview. During that audio recorded interview, MICHAEL LEON DAVIS again told Confidential Pages siamoPL- 2Sb4y¥ the stories about “Dre” admitting to killing “Gloria”, These statements were different from the statements he gave during the first interview. During this interview MICHAEL LEON DAVIS described the tan brick that he believed “Dre” used to cll Gloria, , 11, That on 03/11/2010, MICHAEL LEON DAVIS voluntarily agreed to submit to a polygraph, examination conducted by Eric J. Holden with Behavioral Measures & Forensic Services Southwest. Inc., Eric Holden asked the following relevant questions during the examination; Did you cause Gloria’s death? Are you the one that killed Gloria in December 2005? Were you in that apartment with Gloria when she was killed? The test results given by Eric Holden indicated that MICHAEL LEON DAVIS was being deceptive while answering the relovant questions and in Eric Holden’s professional opinion, MICHAEL LEON DAVIS was ‘untruthful 412, That on 03/11/2010, I spoke to Tarrant County Medical Examiner Lloyd White who conducted ‘the autopsy on Gloria Choice. Dr. Lloyd White said that a brick is consistent with the injuries that Gloria Choice sustained fo her head 13. That on 03/11/2010, {ioc “Star”) who provided a written statement, WABAIABB «:24 hat she knows Gloria Choice and MICHAEL LEON DAVIS but was unaware of the fact that Gloria Choice was dead until I told her. tated that she has no knowledge of who killed Gloria or how she died, ‘stated that she has never had any conversation with MICHAEL LEON DAVIS about Gloria’s murder, ras shown a photo of “Dre” POOR: said that he looked familiar but has never done drugs with him or been in a vacant apartment with him, Lastarr ‘Wright said that she has never done drugs or been in a vacant apartment with Gloria Choice. 14, That on 03/24/2010 1 located RRABABI aka ‘‘Jeson”) who provided a written statement. tated that he and his girlfriend, Helen Rogers, lived in the Willows of ‘Woodhaven at the time of Gloria’s death, Jason said that he knows MICHAEL LEON DAVIS as “Smoke” but has never had a conversation about Gloria's murder with him. said that he never heatd that “Dre” killed Gloria nor did he ever tell anyone that “Dre” killed Gloria, Jason said that he doesn’t remember ever having any conversation with MICHAEL LEON DAVIS after Gloria was killed. 15, That on 03/30/2010 Detective M. Reyes and I, Detective T.S. O’Brien traveled to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Hightower Unit in Dayton, Texas to meet with: , the brother of MICHAEL LEON DAVIS. During the audio recorded interview. said that sometime in the middle of 2006 he and his brother MICHAEL LEON DAVIS were driving in his brothers van on Boca Raton Blvd when they pulled into the Willows of ‘Woodhaven apertment complex and started talking aid that MICHAEL LEON DAIS pointed towards the vacant apartment where Gloria Choice was found and told it he “whooped Mama G’s ass and left but didn’t know if she was dead or alive.” id that MICHAEL LEON DAVIS said that he had sex with Mama G and then beat ‘her ass. hsesneei that MICHAEL LEON DAVIS never told him if be bit her with an object or just his hands/fists, XQQMAGWM said that MICHAEL LEON DAVIS said that he ‘thought Mama G was dead but he wasn’t sure, | showed @QRQRggp 2 photo of Gloria Choice and he said that Gloria Choice was also known as Mama G, Confidential Page 4 ‘sppn/2012Po-2seay 16, That all other tips have been investigated, which led to numerous suspects being excluded as being involved in the murder of Gloria Choice through interviews and polygraph examinations and DNA testing 17. That based on the inconsistent stories given by MICHAEL LEON DAVIS that were investigated and proven to be false; his admission of being in the same vacant apartment that Gloria was killed in the day before she was killed after initially saying he didn’t even know which apartment she was killed in; two seperate people saying that MICHAEL LION DAVIS admitted to killing Gloria, one of them being his brother who had a conversation about MICHAEL LEON DAVIS beating Gloria’s ass while pointing towards the same apartment where she was found dead, indicates MICHAEL, LEON DAVIS intent to cause serious bodily injury to Gloria Choice by committing an act clearly dangerous to human life. ‘That based on the above facts and information being related to him, and as a result of his investigation, your affiant has reason to believe and does believe that MICHAEL LEON DAVIS black male, date of birth 06/13/1982, knowingly and intentionally did then and there commit the offense of MURDER. WHEREFORE, I request that an arrest warrant issue for the suspect hereinbefore designated according to the laws of this State, ‘WITNESS my signatufe this the cae Wonele _, 2012, ANT COUNTY, TEXAS.
