Peggy Barnes Franklin, 66, of North Richland Hills, Texas, was found dead in her apartment from gunshot wounds after an early morning break-in on April 24, 2020. Another woman was injured in the incident; two children who were present were unharmed.

Cano was taken into custody with bond set at $1,753,000. Local officials described Franklin’s death as the first murder of the year in North Richland Hills and said the case drew significant attention from the community.
