On the night of January 14, 2013, 18-year-old Deshalone Williams, a Black male, was shot in the head at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Clark Road in Gary, Indiana, after giving a ride to a man at a gas station on 15th Avenue and Clark Road. Williams and his 21-year-old friend Terrell Frazier were both struck; Frazier died the next morning and Williams died late on January 16, 2013. Williams’ death was ruled a homicide.

Witnesses identified 20-year-old Samuel L. Franklin as the man who entered Williams’ vehicle and, according to a probable cause affidavit, said This is the procedure before opening fire. Police alleged the shooting was connected to a prior dispute over a burglary and a stolen shotgun. Franklin was charged on January 29, 2013, with two counts of murder in the double homicide.

Did anyone who knew Deshalone or was in that area on January 14, 2013, see something that could help clarify what happened?
