Dead Boys Walking

General Davis was once described by the media as one of the most infamous criminals to emerge in Central New York. In the late seventies and early eighties, he was one of the key figures in the creation and running of the Corleones a gang of inner city youth whose members were responsible for committing various crimes in and around the city of Syracuse. As the leader of the gang, and for almost two decades, he led a life of crime. General Davis was arrested several times and charged with a number of crimes, many of them serious enough to warrant long jail sentences, had he been convicted. It is a poignant life story that delves into the gangster lifestyle and reveals the inner most feelings of a young African American who figured out a way to survive shoot outs with rival gang members, ambushes, constant harassment from law enforcement agencies, and finally dealing with the frustration of life as an ex-convict and ex- gang leader.

    • The Streets Raised Them. The System Failed Them. But Their Legacy lives on.

A Few Words About the Book

My personal experience in the harsh world of gang violence started long time ago.

Because of my experiences, I feel like I am able to help others. Basically, all the things that I’ve ever written about in any of my books, is what’s been tested by me practically. The main idea behind my books is saving youth.
