Franklin Davis, 84, is facing arson and attempted first-degree murder charges after he allegedly tried to blow up his former partner of 42 years at a convenience store in Broward County, Florida. According to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, Davis got into an argument while parked at a 7-Eleven on Northwest Ninth Avenue on July 3, and minutes later he allegedly left the car and set it ablaze.
CBS reports that the sheriff’s office was able to obtain surveillance footage showing the moments before Davis allegedly set the car on fire. In it, Davis can be seen entering the car, which also contained the woman, whose identity has been withheld. Davis then allegedly douses the dashboard and front seat with gasoline before igniting the vehicle just three seconds later.
