Man Found Dead in Movie Theater Parking Lot Was Wanted by Cops in Wife's Slaying

A man found dead in a movie theater parking lot has been identified as someone wanted in the killing of his wife, police say. 

The body of 39-year-old Steve Franklin of Jersey City was discovered at the AMC Loews off Route 1 Sunday afternoon, according to NJ.com

Authorities had issued an arrest warrant for Franklin on Friday, charging him with the murder of his wife a day earlier in their Jersey City home. 

Police responding to a domestic dispute report found 38-year-old Sineka Davis unresponsive with a gunshot wound to her chest inside the home. 

Police say a preliminary investigation suggests Franklin took his own life, but autopsy results are pending.
