Following the tragic shooting that took place on Oct. 13 on the 2800 block of Westknolls Lane in Westwood, Cincinnati Police have made a significant breakthrough in their investigation. An 18-year-old, Khyreece Roberson, was found with a gunshot wound and later pronounced dead at the scene, as Local 12 reported.

Making an arrest almost one month after the incident, 31-year-old Franklin France was apprehended in Columbus, Ohio, on a murder warrant. The Cincinnati Police Department's Homicide Unit, Fugitive Apprehension Squad, and the Columbus Police Department all coordinated this joint effort, which led to France's capture, according to WLWT.

The arrest of Franklin France took place yesterday, capturing a suspect for murder in the fatal shooting that had claimed the young life of Roberson the previous month.
