Scott Franklin, 41, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was killed on April 30, 2016, after a late-night road rage confrontation while driving home from his job at El Gallo Grande. Police say Franklin and a group in two cars became involved after one vehicle allegedly cut off another. Franklin exited his car and approached a vehicle driven by Malcolm DiPina, a 22-year-old visitor from Sarasota. DiPina fired multiple shots; Franklin died at the scene.

DiPina later turned himself in and was initially charged with manslaughter and booked into the Pinellas County Jail before being released on bail. Prosecutors reviewed surveillance footage as part of the investigation, and DiPina’s defense invoked Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, arguing he acted in self-defense. The manslaughter charge was subsequently dropped.

Family and friends described Franklin as a beloved father, son, and brother and say they were devastated and frustrated by the legal outcome. Did anyone in the St. Petersburg area see footage or have information about that stretch of road that night?
