I don't expect Bethesdans to have known Frankie, but denizens of Capitol Hill may have. Frankie worked at Frager's Hardware for years before the fire and for a while afterword. I first knew him as a very sweet, young man.
Frankie was shot to death on L Street, SE last night.

This crap has got to stop. I don't want to ever have to hold another young person's mother in grief.
Rest in peace, my friend.
