SACRAMENTO, Calif. —Joseph Allen Davis, 20, of Sacramento, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley to 30 months in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm, U.S. Attorney Eric Grant announced.
According to court documents, an investigation began into Joseph Allen Davis after determining that he was a shooter at the April 12, 2025, shooting incident at Rainbow City Park in Davis where three people were injured by gunfire. Law enforcement officers conducted a search of Joseph Allen Davis’s apartment and seized a short-barrel AR-15-style pistol that was loaded with 23 rounds of ammunition. Davis is prohibited from possessing any firearms and ammunition because he has previously been convicted of a felony gun possession offense.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation with assistance from the Davis Police Department, the Sacramento Police Department, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, and the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office.
