STARKVILLE — The second suspect wanted for an October shooting on North Montgomery Street was captured today in Louisiana.
Roderick D. Franklin, aka “Bam Bam,” of 203 Middle Court, Starkville, was apprehended shortly after 12 p.m. by U.S. Marshals and the New Orleans Police Department at a home in New Orleans, Starkville Police Department Sgt. Chadd Garnett said. Garnett believes Franklin, 30, was tracked down through cell phone records, but was still awaiting more information as of Tuesday afternoon.
Franklin is now awaiting extradition back to Starkville to face a charge of aggravated assault. The other suspect in the shooting, Kenyon Cannon, aka “Smoke,” of 141 Pilkington Park, was arrested in New Orleans March 8 by U.S. Marshals and the New Orleans Police Department. Cannon still is awaiting extradition back to Mississippi, Garnett said.
“I’m just glad they’re both off the street,” Garnett said.
Franklin and Cannon, who are half-brothers, were wanted for a shooting the night of Oct. 30 in the 800 block of North Montgomery. The victim, whom police have not identified, was shot several times in the head, neck and shoulder area. Bloody and reeling, the man attempted to flag down passing motorists on North Montgomery Street and knocked on several nearby doors for help before someone called 911.
