Ernest Franklin was 30 when he was killed on July 4, 2020, in a mass shooting in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. The slaying took place about 11:35 p.m. during a large street gathering; Franklin was one of four people described as innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire when four males approached and opened fire.

No suspects have been identified or arrested. Chicago police released a surveillance image of one person of interest wearing a yellow hoodie, and the FBI offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the shooters. The investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the identity of the men in the surveillance image, or other details that could help the investigation, please come forward.
