Kent Franklin, 21, was shot and killed on Monday, July 18, 2016, in the Milan neighborhood of New Orleans. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide. He was a father to a young daughter, Khy, and remembered by family as a smiling, cherished person.

The Franklin family had already suffered a similar loss years earlier when Kent’s twin brother, Keith Fatboy Franklin, was also killed by gunfire. Kent’s funeral was held at First Agape Baptist Church on Thalia Street and he was buried at Providence Park Cemetery.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly detailed in connection with Kent’s murder; the investigation remains without a publicly announced resolution. If anyone knew Kent, his routines, or has information about what happened that night in Milan, please come forward.
