Matthew Franklin, a 32-year-old man from Houston, Texas, was killed on May 31, 2018. Franklin was found dead at the Inwood Groves Apartments at 7302 Alabonson from a gunshot wound after being lured to the location under the pretense of purchasing car parts online. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says the ruse was used to rob and fatally shoot him.

The suspect identified in the initial investigation was 28-year-old Justin Parker, who was charged with capital murder. Authorities reported Parker had an existing criminal history and was out on a $120,000 bond for three aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon charges and one aggravated assault as a public servant charge at the time of the shooting. Parker reportedly attempted to evade law enforcement but was apprehended and arrested.

A second suspect, Bryant Dupree, was charged in connection with the killing. Does anyone have information about Franklin, where he spent time in Houston, or about the online transaction that led to the meeting?
