Derrick Franklin, 25, was fatally shot multiple times at All City Sports Bar on Mahoning Avenue in Youngstown on November 29, 2018, about 1:20 a.m. Witnesses said there was no sign of trouble beforehand and that it appeared a single shooter fired; several shell casings were recovered but no firearm. Friends took Derrick to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where he later died. The Mahoning County Coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Police identified a 2017 misdemeanor unauthorized use of a motor vehicle charge and several traffic violations in Derrick’s record, but found no known history of trouble at the bar. The Youngstown Police Department investigated but made no arrests; the case remained open and was the city’s 23rd homicide of 2018. If anyone was at the All City Sports Bar that night or has information that could help identify the shooter, contact investigators.
