According to investigators, Franklin Davis and the woman got into an argument Friday while sitting in a parked vehicle at a 7-Eleven. Davis, who had been drinking, allegedly pulled out a bottle filled with gasoline, poured it onto the dashboard and front seats, and then set the car on fire while they were both still inside.
