Francisco Frank Santos was 19 and from Fort Worth, Texas, when he was fatally shot on August 22, 2020, in River Oaks. He had asked his mother for permission to visit a friend that evening and left wearing shorts, a T-shirt, and sandals. Suspects opened fire on the vehicle he was driving; Frank suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to hospital where doctors could not save him. He was kept on life support over the weekend so his grandparents could arrive from Mexico, and his organs were donated.

Investigators identified five people as involved. Two minors were arrested by the River Oaks Police Department; the main defendant who fired the fatal shot was later moved into the adult system and was released on lowered bond with conditions, and his court date had not been set. Another suspect, a minor at the time but later 18, had bond raised from $50,000 to $100,000 on August 10, 2020, and faced multiple postponed hearings while being prosecuted as an adult. Frank’s family and community have created a petition and a memorial page and continue to call for all known suspects to be charged and detained.
