LaVecchia Franklin, a 28-year-old Black woman also known as LaVecchia Dixon, was attacked in her home at 720 S. Murphy in El Dorado, Arkansas, on the evening of February 22, 2014. She suffered multiple gunshot and knife wounds and was taken first to a local hospital, then airlifted to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She died of her injuries on February 23, 2014.

When officers arrived, 25-year-old Rashad G. Morgan was inside the residence armed with a small silver handgun. He reportedly aimed the weapon at officers and ignored commands to drop it; police fired, critically wounding him, and he was taken to a hospital. Morgan was later charged with capital murder in Franklin’s death and with four counts of aggravated assault.

The killing prompted memorial events and local efforts to raise awareness about domestic violence. Did anyone in the El Dorado community have information about Franklin, her routines, or what happened that night?
