On October 9, 2008, Franklin L. Walker, 36, was found dead inside a dilapidated house at 1988 Fairmont Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. He was one of three victims discovered that morning, including Markell L. Peaks and Carol Welch. It is believed that they were killed the night before, and the property was known for drug-related activities. Mandrell L. Kendricks was later charged with three counts of aggravated murder in connection with the deaths of Walker and the others. The crime scene indicated a troubling pattern of violence linked to drug activities.
