Terant Reshadd Franklin

Terant Reshadd Franklin (d. October 3, 2017) lived in Bryan, Texas, and was known in public records as a 35-year-old brother to Dominique Franklin. Public sources identify him as a member of his local community in Bryan’s Castle Heights area. While details about his everyday life, work, or personal interests are limited in the public record, the verified facts show he was part of a close family bond: he and his younger brother Dominique shared a home and family ties that were deeply affected by the events of October 3, 2017.

What is available in public sources shows Terant as a real person with family and neighbors who recognized him. Neighbors and local reporting at the time identified the two men as brothers and named their residence in the Castle Heights neighborhood. Those who knew him personally — family members and neighbors reported in contemporaneous news coverage — felt the loss keenly.

In the years since his death, local law-enforcement and court records document the investigation and prosecution related to the October 2017 killings. Those records do not define Terant’s life; rather they are part of the public record surrounding the final, tragic chapter. This remembrance aims to center Terant’s humanity: he was someone’s brother and neighbor, someone who belonged to a family and community in Bryan.

Because published obituaries or family-authorized memorial notices matching his full name and the exact date of death were not found in the sources examined, this page focuses on the dignity of his personhood with the verifiable facts available. Family members, friends, or funeral homes who can provide an authorized obituary or additional biographical details are the best sources to enrich this memorial and ensure it reflects the life Terant lived beyond public records.

He is remembered here with respect and quiet regard for the life he led and the family who survive him.
