Police say Davis broke into a home on the 7400 block of Brockton Road, around 5:20 a.m., on Sunday, May 17.

"I think, quite frankly, he was trying to get into vehicles, get anything he could, and I think he forced his way inside the property, pushed the door open and was able to get inside," Philadelphia Police Capt. Mark Burgmann said at the time.
