The gunman’s accomplice, riding the motorcycle, wore black clothing.
To date, no one has been arrested in connection with the 37-year-old’s murder.
A year later, Wednesday the 6th of April 2022, Shortly after 6:30am, a passer-by found 18-year-old Laje Franklin’s lifeless body with multiple gunshot wounds, lying near the roundabout along the roadway leading to Clearwater Beach, St. David’s.
