Vincent D. Junior, 28, was shot and killed on January 13, 2018, at about 6:00 p.m. at the Tanglewood Apartments on Elberta Road in Warner Robins, Georgia. He was found with fatal gunshot wounds after an argument with someone he knew. Initial reports described the incident as a dispute among acquaintances, but no suspect description was given at the scene.

Court testimony later said Junior and Daniel Bruce Franz, who had been friends for years, argued in the apartment’s living room because Junior wanted marijuana from Franz. Witnesses said Junior followed Franz into the kitchen with a gun, took a bag of marijuana, returned to the living room and bragged about it. Franz then came from the back of the house and shot Junior three times before fleeing.

Daniel Bruce Franz was arrested and convicted on charges including voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm by a felon, and was sentenced to 25 years in July 2019.
