Details In N.J. Murder-Suicide; Body Found At Movie Theater: Cops

Details were revealed after a possible murder-suicide was uncovered in New Jersey after a body was found at a movie theater, authorities say.

The man found dead in the parking lot of a New Jersey movie theater was identified this weekend as the "armed and dangerous" Jersey City man wanted for killing his wife, authorities say.

Steve L. Franklin, 39, was found in a car in the parking lot of the AMC Loews movie theater off Route 1 in New Brunswick at about 1 p.m. Sunday, according to authorities.

Law enforcement sources confirmed that Franklin was found and that police are investigating the incident as a possible murder-suicide.

"The preliminary police investigation suggests suicide; however a final determination cannot be made until an autopsy is completed," New Brunswick police said in a statement.

Police searched for three days for the “armed and dangerous” Hudson County man who allegedly shot his wife to death on Thursday evening, authorities say.

According to the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office, Jersey City officers responded to the 100 block of Manning Avenue on a report of a domestic dispute around 6 p.m. Thursday. On arrival, the officers found an unresponsive female victim with a gunshot wound to her upper torso.

The victim, later identified as Sineka Davis, 38, of Jersey City, was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:50 p.m., prosecutors said.

On Friday, authorities issued an arrest warrant for Franklin, charging him with murder in violation of N.J.S. 2C: 11-3, a first-degree crime.

“Franklin should not be approached,” police said. “He should be considered armed and dangerous.” [See above photo]
