Murder defendant Kaprise Sledge, accused in the March 2, 2024, shooting death of U.S. Postal Service carrier Jonte Davis in Warren, has filed three motions in U.S. District Court asking Judge Donald C. Nugent to suppress information related to the movement of cell phones possibly associated with the murder and other things.
The attorney for Kaprise Sledge, 25, filed the motion last month, citing flaws in the warrant that was used to secure the cellphone information, called historical “cell site location information,” CSLI for short.
The Granitdiscovery.com web site states that CSLI can provide a “record of where a phone has been based on its interactions with cellular networks. Every time your phone makes a call, sends a text or accesses data, it connects to the nearest cell tower, leaving behind a digital trail,” according to a February 2025 post.
“These interactions, logged by cellular providers, form a historical timeline that can be invaluable for reconstructing events and verifying claims about where someone — or at least their phone — was at a specific moment.”
