The teens were awaiting trial as adults, and, as per Mosby, Davis was enthusiastic to speak to them. He went on to suggest that Davis travels the world, representing the city of Baltimore on his own.
Mosby added that Davis’ decision to come back and contribute to his hometown is truly special. “Tank, when he goes around the world, he literally carries the city of Baltimore on his back,” Mosby said. “For you to come back, invest in your hometown, invest in your community, and invest in your block — is truly, truly special,” said Mosby.
