The exhaustive search for the person responsible for the 2007 murder of millionaire philanthropist Glen Davis eventually led police to a member of his family: 38-year-old Marshall Ross, a married father and a businessman who lives six blocks from where Davis, 66, was shot dead.
Ross, police sources said, is Davis’s nephew. He was arrested Saturday and charged with first-degree murder along with two others: Dmitri Kossyrine, 30, and Ivgeny Vorobiov, 30.
Police would not say why they believe Ross wanted Davis dead. For the first time, however, police sources linked the May 2007 murder, in which Davis was shot twice in the torso in an underground parking garage, to a severe beating in December 2005 that sent him to the hospital badly bruised.
The murder occurred in the parking garage under the Mount Pleasant and Eglinton Avenue East building that houses the local offices of the World Wildlife Fund, to which Davis donated millions.
