Michelle Newell, Channel 2’s Cobb County Bureau Chief was live outside the Cobb County Jail on Tuesday Channel 2 Action News at 5pm with new details.
New details in a police report say officers found Harris in another jurisdiction after he killed Franklin.
According to Franklin’s mother, Harris was found in Franklin’s car.
Those who knew and loved Franklin cannot believe she is gone.
“She had the brightest future ever and I just hate that he took all of that away from her over something so small,” said Christyle Holmes, Franklin’s girlfriend.
“How often do you help students who are in an abusive domestic situation? We see students very often. How often? I would say one in three are students,” said Raysa Figaro, program director at Live Safe Resources.
Figaro told Newell that her organization visits KSU several times a year to raise awareness and provide assistance.

“Excessive texting. Does your partner text you very often? Are they always trying to find out where you are? Why are you with certain people? Are they trying to control your emotions and behavior? These kinds of things are starting signals,” said Figaro.
Holmes told Newell that she was focusing on consciousness.
“If you know someone who is currently in a relationship and they are not being themselves around their significant others, talk to your friend and tell her to say something,” Holmes said.
Harris does not appear to have a criminal background in Georgia, but he is facing three felony charges in Cobb County, including murder.
