Reginald Franklin Jr., 27, was shot and killed in daylight in Homewood, Pittsburgh on February 3, 2016. He had just exited a convenience store on the 7200 block of Frankstown Avenue at about 2:30 p.m., as children were getting off school buses. Witnesses heard multiple shots and Franklin was found lying in the street; paramedics took him to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Investigators say the shooter opened fire as Franklin left the store and ran on foot toward Sterrett Street. A restaurant manager across the street identified Franklin as a regular customer. Police released a suspect description: a Black male, about 6 feet 1 inch, thin build, with shoulder-length dreadlocks. No arrests have been announced and the murder remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the area on February 3, 2016, see someone matching that description or other activity near Frankstown Avenue and Sterrett Street?
