(AP) – The owner-operator of a small taxicab company found shot to death under the approach to the Hart Bridge over the St. Johns River was apparently the victim of a robbery-slaying, police say. Officers said they found the body of Joseph Roy Davis, 40, early Thursday. A taxi Davis had been operating Wednesday night was found abandoned in South Jacksonville, several miles away. A spokesman for Diamond Cab Co. said Davis frequently drove one of the company’s taxis.” Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at (904) 630-1200.
