Du’Vonta Lampkin, 25, was found dead of a gunshot wound on May 5, 2022, at an Airbnb in Downtown Dallas. Lampkin, a former University of Oklahoma football player, had been staying at the rental while waiting to move into a new apartment. His black and white designer backpack, cell phone, and wallet were missing when his body was discovered.

Investigators say Antwan Franklin suggested robbing Lampkin because he carried cash and was thought to be friendly and unarmed. Franklin and Erick Garcia were arrested on July 8, 2022, and charged in connection with Lampkin’s murder; a third man, John Williams, was also arrested and charged with capital murder by terror threat. In December 2024 a Dallas County jury found Antwan Franklin guilty of capital murder and sentenced him to life in prison; Garcia and Williams remain awaiting trial.

Lampkin’s family remembers him as a promising young man with aspirations in real estate. Does anyone have information about Lampkin’s movements in Downtown Dallas around May 5, 2022, or about the Airbnb where he was staying?
