While showing his empty pockets, the teen pulled out a cell phone. The robber pulled a gun and demanded the phone, then ran away. A witness offered his phone to the teen to call the police. When officials arrived, they found Davis in the 1800 block of West Oakwood, where they arrested him. They searched the area and found a pistol and the cell phone in two different trashcans on Maxwell Street, about a block away from where they found Davis.
