Krystal Lynn Franklin, 33, was killed in a drive-by shooting before dawn on November 15, 2021, in the Boldo area of Walker County. She was outside a home on Benny Short Road at about 1:20 a.m. when shots were fired; some rounds also struck the residence while other people inside were sleeping. Franklin was publicly identified after the shooting and was reported to be a mother of seven.

Authorities arrested Jacob Aaron Thompson, 30, the same day; early reports said he was charged with capital murder and shooting into an occupied dwelling. Investigators later indicated they did not believe Franklin was the intended target and said the shooters had fired into a vehicle, with Franklin the person who died. On June 15, 2022, Thompson and a second man, Patrick Thomas Edge, were reported to have been indicted, and Edge was arrested in August 2022 and charged with capital murder.

The publicly reported timeline ends with those arrests and indictments; no trial outcome is described. Does anyone have information about Krystal, her movements that night, or other details that could help explain why she was at that location?
