On the night of May 31, 2019, a domestic dispute in a Warren, Michigan home ended with the fatal shooting of 30-year-old DJuan Omar Ramsey. Ramsey was struck in the lower left abdomen in the living room of the Hupp Street house he shared with his boyfriend, Walter C. Franklin. The two had reportedly been drinking vodka for several hours before the confrontation escalated.

Franklin, 44 at the time, said the argument turned physical and that Ramsey began choking him. He testified that he fell back onto a couch, grabbed an AR-15 rifle, and fired after Ramsey advanced again. Franklin called 911 after the shooting and was cooperative with police; his blood-alcohol content tested at .188%. He was arrested and tried in Macomb County Circuit Court on second-degree murder, manslaughter, and two firearms-related charges. The defense argued the shooting was self-defense, and on December 4, 2021, a jury acquitted Franklin of all charges.

Did anyone know Ramsey or the couple, or have information about the events that led to the deadly confrontation?
