Antonio Franklin Jr., 21, was killed after being struck by a gunshot to the head while at Duncan Park in Lexington, Kentucky. The shooting occurred on April 13, 2014; he was found near the swings and taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, where he died the following day. Police concluded Antonio was an innocent bystander caught in crossfire during what they believe was random gun violence. Witnesses described several men chasing someone and others fleeing after shots were fired; officers also looked into a possible link to a separate shooting minutes earlier in the same area.

In the months after the killing, investigators arrested several youths in connection with the incident. A male juvenile was charged with murder; later four teenagers faced charges related to the slaying. Daymion Jacobi Sanders was sentenced to seven years for second-degree manslaughter. Nashiem Dixon was charged with murder, while William Dixon and Bryan Brown were charged with attempted murder. Sanders said he and a friend had been shot at by a group in a car and that he returned fire.

Antonio’s mother, Anita Franklin, organized the first Antonio Franklin Jr. VIP Program Peace Walk ten days after his death; the walk was created to honor him and promote peace. Does anyone have information about Antonio’s last evening at Duncan Park or about the people seen fleeing the scene?
