Davis died on Friday at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, as reported by the Solano County coroner’s office to ABC News. Davis had been denied parole numerous times over the decades, according to state officials. Governors Gavin Newsom, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown consistently rejected parole board recommendations for his release. Charles Manson died in prison in 2017 at the age of 83. Davis was convicted for his role in the 1969 killings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald “Shorty” Shea.
