Tarance Nmi Franklin, a 22-year-old man from Chicago, was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting on February 8, 2012. The attack occurred on the city’s South Side near a gas station; Franklin was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead shortly before 5 p.m.

Franklin’s killing came amid a sharp rise in violence across Chicago in 2012, a year that recorded more than 500 homicides and was described as the nation’s highest total among major U.S. cities. The increase reflected ongoing problems with gang activity and gun-related crimes, and many shootings that year—particularly drive-by incidents—exposed challenges for local authorities, including difficulties solving cases when witnesses did not cooperate.

If anyone remembers the area near that South Side gas station on February 8, 2012, or has information about Franklin’s death, please come forward.
