NEW YORK — A man who gained notoriety after wounding six police officers in a 1986 gunfight that led to a nationwide manhunt was killed in prison, corrections officials said Thursday.
Larry Davis, serving 25 years to life on a murder conviction in an unrelated case, was stabbed to death around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday during a recreational break at Shawangunk Correctional Facility in Ulster County, said Erik Kriss, a spokesman for the state Department of Correctional Services.
Davis was stabbed repeatedly with a 12-by-1 1/2-inch homemade metal shank in the arms, head, back, upper thigh and chest, Kriss said.
Payback is a bitch. Bitch.
