Davis in its borders

The city is bordered to the north by the neighbourhood of Strawberry, to the east by Rancho, to the west by Chamberlain Hills, and to the south by Banning.

Davis is a poverty-ridden city with a high crime rate and significant gang violence between The Families and Ballas, similar to its bordering neighbourhoods in the city of Los Santos. Roads such as Grove Street are heavily patrolled by gangsters, so newcomers must choose their clothing colors wisely. Davis is the only incorporated city in Los Santos County besides Los Santos itself; the city has its own courthouse and fire station, which is a branch of the Los Santos Fire Department. The city is served by the Los Santos County Sheriff.

South and southwest Davis is primarily residential and heavily populated by small, single-family homes, often with bars installed on the windows and doors to prevent burglaries. However, the busy roads of Carson Avenue and Davis Avenue, located further to the northeast of Davis, are more commercial and contain many smaller businesses and stores. The population is mostly African-American.

The radio station West Coast Classics says that it broadcasts live from the city of Davis.

History[]

Events of Grand Theft Auto V[]

Davis is one of the main settings in the Hood Safari mission where Franklin, Lamar, and Trevor fight waves of Ballas on Grove Street. Additionally, the car impound lot used in for Tonya's towing missions is located next to the Sheriff's Station.

Events of Grand Theft Auto Online[]

At some point in mid-2013, during the events of the Lowriders update for Grand Theft Auto Online, the GTA Online Protagonist and associates are hired by Lamar Davis to perform several drive-by shootings on the Ballas while dressing up as Vagos in order to trigger a gang war between the two gangs.

Many years later, in late 2021, the leader of the North Side Vagos acquires a copy of Dr. Dre's phone containing unreleased music demos. The F. Clinton and Partner celebrity solutions agency CEO, Franklin Clinton, sends his business partner, the GTA Online Protagonist, to meet Vernon from the DNF set of the Families. At first, he and the Families attack the Ballas in a massive shootout in Davis, under the impression that they were the ones who stole Dr. Dre's phone, until P, the boss of the OCB set of the Ballas, reveals that it was the Vagos who stole it.

After that, Vernon and P unite both the Families and Ballas to launch an attack on the Vagos in Rancho, taking down their leader and retrieving the copy of Dr. Dre's unreleased music. This event marks the end of the rivalry between the Families and the Ballas.

Influence[]

Davis is heavily based on the city of Compton, California with the element of several popular South Central Los Angeles' neighborhoods (Most likely Crenshaw).

Gang Control[]

The entire city of Davis is heavily controlled by Ballas, with the occasional presence of The Families on Carson Avenue near the Davis-Strawberry border, and Grove Street on the Davis-Chamberlain Hills border. If the player goes into the blocks near Grove Street, Brouge Avenue, and Covenant Avenue, they will be shot at by Ballas. In the northern part from Carson Avenue there is less gang control, but still a presence of Ballas.

  • There is a city named Davis west of Sacramento, in northern California.
  • Davis may be named after Baron Davis, a basketball player from Compton, which Davis is based on.
