Frank Mercado was a 29-year-old Hispanic/Latino man from Brooklyn who died on December 20, 1996, a loss recorded on a public memorial for victims of gun violence. The online entry is minimal about circumstances: it lists his date of death, borough, and a nickname, Nitty, and notes he had three children, but it gives no location details or account of the incident itself.

The memorial page does not identify a suspect, mention an arrest, or describe an investigation, charge, trial, or conviction. It functions mainly as a space for remembrance where photos and stories can be added, preserving his name while leaving the factual questions about the killing unanswered.

If anyone knew Frank, his whereabouts that day, or has information about what happened on December 20, 1996, please share what is known.
