Frankie Cabrera

Frankie Ray Cabrera was a young man from Yuma whose life mattered to family and community. Public records show he died on January 14, 2006 in the parking lot of a Circle K at 21st Street and Avenue A; beyond that date and place, the public record is limited. Official materials confirm his full name and that the loss remains a painful, unresolved moment for those who knew him.

Although available public sources emphasize the circumstances surrounding his death, it is important to remember that Frankie was more than a single line in an official file. He was a person with relationships and everyday hopes—someone who spent time with friends and family in the neighborhoods of Yuma. The community remembrance compiled by local authorities and cold-case listings reflects not only an unresolved crime but also the absence felt by people who cared for him.

Because no family-published obituary or funeral notice matching his name and the exact date of death was found in public obituary archives, many personal details about his life (school, work, hobbies, or close relatives) remain private or unreported in the public record. That lack of public biography does not lessen his worth. Rather, it underscores the dignity due to him and the continuing desire of the community for answers.

Frankie’s memory endures in the hearts of those who knew him and in the ongoing request from local investigators for information. For anyone who may have information, the Yuma Police Department continues to encourage contact with detectives. Remembering Frankie means acknowledging a young life cut short and the human connections—family, friends, neighborhood ties—that made him who he was.
