Leon Davis, 49, died on June 14, 2012, in Brandon, Florida. Davis had been convicted and sentenced to death for a series of violent crimes in Polk County, Florida, tied to incidents in December 2007.
On December 13, 2007, at the Headley Insurance Agency in Polk County, Davis bound two women with duct tape, poured gasoline on them, and set them on fire. One of the victims was pregnant; both women died. Davis was arrested and charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder, arson, and robbery. He was also implicated in separate murders at a BP gasoline station in Polk County that occurred days before the Headley Insurance Agency killings.
Davis was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Direct appeals and subsequent postconviction and habeas corpus petitions were denied by the Florida Supreme Court, which affirmed the convictions and sentence.
Does anyone have more information about the BP station killings or the victims in the Headley Insurance Agency case?
