Franklin Monroe, 21, was one of two young men fatally shot on March 21, 2020, near the intersection of Ajax Drive and Tower Drive in Hope Mills, North Carolina. Monroe and 16-year-old Cameron Emery of Fayetteville were found with fatal gunshot wounds at a gas station on NC Highway 87 South after they had sought help from a marked patrol car parked there. A third victim, a girl whose age was not released, was shot and survived after fleeing the scene.

Authorities arrested 20-year-old Sterling James Straughter of Hope Mills in connection with the shooting and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder. Investigators reported the shooting was linked to a marijuana deal that had been arranged through Instagram messages, with Straughter meeting Monroe to buy marijuana when shots were fired.
