Reverend Vernon Franklin/Aretha Franklin?

Question

Who shot Aretha Franklin's father, and why?

Answer 1

Burgulars broke into Rev. C. L. Franklin's Detroit home and he came downstairs to see what was going on. He was shot and then went into a coma. He died 5 years later in 1984. The reason given is that the thiefs were looking for money. So far, they have not been caught.

Vernon is Aretha's half-brother and he was not a minister. C.L. Franklin was her father, the famed Detroit minister.

Answer 2

David Duke
Because he was Black.

Answer 3

You will have to ask the scumbags that did the crime.
