Kevin Franchow, 38, was shot dead during one of his routine evening walks in AnSan Sister City Park in Las Vegas in the early morning hours of July 26, 2009. Franchow, who managed diabetes through regular walks and wore hearing aids and glasses, was described as having the mental capacity of a 10-year-old. Police say two young men had just robbed a woman in the park and moments later confronted Franchow; one of the suspects shot him multiple times in the back.

Officers found Franchow around 12:25 a.m.; he was taken to University Medical Center and later died of his injuries. His glasses had been knocked off before the shooting, leaving him especially vulnerable and possibly unable to hear any demands. The suspects were described as males about 17 to 22 years old; one was thin, about 5 feet 11 inches, with short hair, wearing a white T-shirt and carrying another shirt.

Anyone who was at AnSan Sister City Park that night or who recognizes the description of the suspects is asked to come forward with information.
