Malachi Davis, convicted of voluntary manslaughter following the March 8 shooting death of John Kent of Humboldt, will spend six years in prison for the crime. Originally charged with second-degree murder, Davis pleaded no contest to the reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter in June. Davis, of Humboldt, was accused of gunning down Kent following an altercation between Davis and his girlfriend near the intersection of 10th and Sycamore streets in Humboldt. Multiple law enforcement agencies began searching for the suspect before he was arrested about 3½ hours later near Moran. Davis will be subject to 36 months of post-release supervision after his prison sentence concludes.
