Denzell Franklin was 23 when he was shot and killed in Chicago on October 24, 2014. He and another man, 24, were standing in a courtyard in the 5500 block of West Corcoran Place in the South Austin neighborhood at about 10 p.m. Someone approached and multiple people fired from a sidewalk; Franklin was struck in the face and armpit and was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:45 p.m. The other man was wounded in the arm and later taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where his condition was stabilized.

Two 19-year-old men, Jermaine Powell and Joshua Grayer, were charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm in connection with Franklin’s death and were ordered held without bail at a Cook County Bond Court hearing. The Chicago Police Department investigated the shooting and the Cook County medical examiner confirmed Franklin’s injuries and death.

Did anyone in the South Austin area that night see something that could help investigators or Franklin’s family?
