Franklin did not resist capture
A suspected teenage killer on the run for more than two months after
allegedly gunning down a man at a Butler apartment complex in March had
been hiding out for much of that time in Richmond, Va., authorities said.
More recently, David “Dae Dae” Jabril Franklin, 19, of Brackenridge was
staying at a home in the city, Virginia’s capital, about 350 miles from
Butler.
That’s where his luck ran out Thursday afternoon. And the target of the
manhunt, who was believed to be armed and dangerous, didn’t put up a fight.
“Contact was made at the house and he was told to come out, and he did,”
Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Jon Gallagher of the U.S. Marshals
Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force said Friday.
Officers with the U.S. Marshals Service, Capitol Area Regional Fugitive
Task Force arrested and handcuffed Franklin, who was taken away for
processing.
He was booked into the Henrico County Jail at 6 p.m., some three hours
later.
The now former fugitive remains behind bars while awaiting extradition
back to Butler County to face homicide charges.
