Patrick M. Franklin was 19 when he was found fatally shot on January 30, 2017, in Chicago. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene late that night. Witnesses reported hearing several shots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the area, and police treated the incident as a targeted shooting.

The Chicago Police Department interviewed numerous witnesses and reviewed nearby surveillance footage. Detectives identified several persons of interest, including a local gang member who had previous altercations with Patrick; those individuals were questioned but no charges were filed due to insufficient evidence. The case remained open in subsequent years with periodic appeals for information while Patrick’s family took part in community efforts to raise awareness about gun violence.

Are there any witnesses or neighbors who remember that night or who saw the vehicle that fled the scene?
