“I just want to say that I think it’s horrible to allow Garcia to get a six-day suspension for killing my son over some soda. My son is gone, his children have no father,' Franklin's father said.
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland police officer who shot and killed Desmond Franklin in April 2020 now faces discipline more than two years after the deadly shooting.
Investigators said Garcia, who was off-duty and in plain clothes at the time, then drove away from the store on his way to report to work at Second District Police Headquarters. Garcia said Franklin pointed a gun at him, so Garcia fired several times, shooting Franklin in the head and killing the 23-year-old father of four.Franklin’s father filed a complaint with the city against the officer, claiming his son was murdered and writing his death didn’t have to happen that way over some pop.
“He decided to insert himself and then changed his mind,” said Civilian Police Review Board member Brandon Brown, “but that doesn’t change the fact he had already inserted himself.”
