Frank King was a new father when he was gunned down 18 years ago outside his home in Silver Spring. In the early hours of July 2, 1993, King pulled up to his home on Dilston Road. King was new to the area, having spent most of his life in the District. Around 2:30 a.m., shortly after he got out of his vehicle, two men approached him and began firing.

King was shot three times. By the time police arrived, the 38-year-old was semiconscious, lying in a pool of his own blood.
