On May 21, 2018, 36-year-old Vincent Franklin of Chester, Pennsylvania, was shot dead in broad daylight on the 500 block of Central Avenue. Surveillance video captured a man exiting a Nissan Rogue and firing a .40 caliber handgun; Franklin was struck multiple times after as many as 22 shots were fired and later died of his wounds.

Investigators identified two suspects: Eric Johnson, 28, shown on the footage as the shooter, and Byron Minor, 28, who drove the Nissan. Authorities said the motive was a debt Franklin owed to Johnson. Both men were arrested after the shooting — Johnson at a Chester house and Minor at his probation office in August 2018 — and both were charged with first- and third-degree murder. A Folcroft police officer discharged a weapon at the pair during their flight, but neither was hit.

Both defendants were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced on February 20, 2020; Minor received an aggregate 20 to 40 years and Johnson was sentenced to life without parole. Does anyone have information about Franklin’s movements that day or the circumstances of the debt mentioned by authorities?
