Ronald Franklin Jr., 32, was fatally shot on June 6, 2020, in Milwaukee near 50th and Center Streets. He was seated in his parked car when a male suspect approached the driver’s side, produced a handgun, and opened fire. Franklin was struck by multiple bullets, lost control of the vehicle, which then moved eastward and struck a building before coming to rest. Police found him unresponsive in the driver’s seat; an autopsy recorded about 15 gunshot wounds.

Witness descriptions and surveillance footage helped identify a suspect. A Milwaukee County Transit System bus camera captured the license plate of a rental car tied to the shooting. Two days later the rental vehicle was located and 30-year-old Trasean Thomas was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime, use of a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
