In August 2013, Franklin's wife called police after her husband came home and told her that he had just killed her boss, 34-year-old Edward Gonzalez. When officers arrived at the victim's home, they found Gonzalez dead.
The investigation revealed that Franklin went to Gonzalez's home after learning that Gonzalez and his wife had an affair. Franklin confronted Gonzalez and shot him multiple times, including while Gonzalez was lying face down on the ground.
Gonzalez's wife and children were inside the family home during the shooting. Franklin then got into his car and fled the area.
