Emergency crews took him to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

DeKalb County police investigated the shooting and reported no established motive; the shooter fled on foot. Franklin’s family remembers him as bubbly, caring, fond of dancing and with a comedic personality, and his death appears in online memorials for victims of gun violence.
