Was He a Tourist?
- A 55-year-old Arkansas man was shot dead early Thursday when a trip in a friend’s car went awry.
Robert Franklin died shortly after his friend rushed him to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County with four gunshot wounds to the back just before 4 a.m., authorities said.
Police said the friend told officers the two got lost while driving around during the early morning hours. Police said it is unknown where the shooting happened because the driver was lost.
The friend told police they stopped to ask for directions, but a man climbed into the car, pulled out a gun and robbed them, police said.
No location for the shooting - are they going to push it off to Cicero or Stickney?

Anyone thinking the cousin set him up?
HMMMMMMMMMM, tourists, lost, stopped for directions? At least four shots were fired, were casings in the car? I dont know but when I am lost maybe I go to a gas station, well lite, maybe keep driving till I get to a little better area? They were lost but they found a hospital? Maybe I have been on the job toooooooo long but this I dont believe any of this bullshit.
I got 1dollar it was a bad drug deal gone south.
Here is the rest of the story from the breaking news article: Around the same time, a man was shot and wounded in the Wicker Park neighborhood while visiting his grandmother, police said. The shooting happened about 3:55 a.m. in the 1200 block of North Wolcott Avenue.
The man, 24, was standing on a sidewalk with a friend when they got into an argument with two others. One of the other two pulled a gun and shot the man in the leg.
Some things make you go Hmmmmm don't they?
burglar hypes. got shot by the dope man.
tony.............scam bro
The Franklin guy was from the west side of Chicago. Now who from the west side would stop on the west side to ask directions at near 400am?
The mutha fucka was out there looking for some hairon, plain and simple, a dope buy turned into a robbery and shooting.
Yeah right, directions your sister's dick.
"The friend told police they stopped to ask for directions,..."
Bullshit.
Who do these brothers think they are?! And where exactly do they get off using the defacto Suburban White Boy lie when trying to cop dope?
"Police said it is unknown where the shooting happened because the driver was lost."
More Bullshit.
These rotten motherfuckers figured out how to drive their worthless carcasses to Stroger without the trusty Garmin.
If he was lost how did he find the hospital? Chicago at night is not the sort of place you let strangers into the back seat of your ride. The numbers would look better if this happened somewhere outside of the City itself.
They dumped it on 012 since they drove to county.. Oh, the deceased was also a mental patient. fyi
Bad drug deal. Although, "welcome to Chicago. Now gimmee your shit" has a nice ring to it.
Looking for directions but he found county hospital?
Ok, my dog ate my homework.
He was looking for directions but he found cook county ?
Just like when my dog ate my homework
I always visit Gramma at 3:55 am.
Maybe the family realized that since we are the murder capital USA they would just drive up here and whack said relative and blame it on them damn GD's that Sen. Kirk has vowed to eliminate.
The relatives said he makes the trip to Chicago from time to time--but this time he got lost? Right.
"We were lost..... Right behind Cook County Hospital."
Idiot.
NAC walks away....slowly shaking head.
Someone slept through story-telling class.
Signed, NAC (not a cop)
Bullshit!
Ol' boy was up here to buy some quantity to take back south...
Bet you when all this shakes down, it'll come out that he was a former Chicago shit-head who flew south to lay low years ago.
The rotten m/fer who shot him up?
Very likely he'll be a grinner in a burned out abando after the snow melts next spring...
"You got us hot muthafuckah!"
>Pop-Pop-Pop!<
"Ay yo... Get that loot from his ass."
"Oh? He gave it to his Granny? Fuck dat bitch. She gonna be dead too..."
Trife Life...
It's what they do.
Somehow, I just don't believe the story that was in the papers about a "tourist" asking for directions.
"Cicero or Stickney? Fuck no! I'm telling the dicks to send this to Indiana."
They were so lost they found their way right to stroger!
Welcome to Chicago! When you get lost we reunite you with the maker.
I,too often visit grandma at 4 am
In the tv interview, the sister said he was coming to Chicago to do some business, but she didn't know what the business was. Amazing, that he got shot conducting business, isn't it?
Lost my redwood cock. Looking to buy dope or slingin a kilo or 2. Fuck em

You mean YOUR grandmammy aint up at 4 am???
His friend brought him to Illinois to murder him, no death penalty.
Shocked that media jumped so quickly to the "poor victim" angle. Sweeps month.
They got off the Dan Ryan to buy heroin. The guy needed directions yet his sister claims he's from Chicago, lived here on the west & north sides for 30 years.hmmm. Who the hell lets a guy in the car to give directions that you just picked up off the street anyway? DOPE FIENDS &/or DRUG DEALERS! After he shot the guy did he also give them directions to the hospital?
Over the ghetto and through the hood to grandmothers house I go.
