Stafford Man Faces Involuntary Manslaughter

STAFFORD, Va. — Authorities don’t know what led to a fight between two young men, but now one is dead and other faces an involuntary manslaughter charge.

Kwesi Tyre Franklin, 20, of Stafford County, died after a confrontation with an acquaintance on Thursday, May 30. Police and rescue personnel were called to the area of Malvern Hill Court just after 10 p.m. where they found Franklin suffering from an apparent head wound. He was not able to speak to rescue workers, and he was taken to a local hospital where he later died June 1.

A Stafford County Sheriff’s Office Detective was assigned to the case due to the mysterious nature of Franklin’s death. The investigator contacted Franklin’s family and was told the 20-year-old left home that evening to go skateboarding, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.

As the investigation continued, police learned that Franklin’s injuries stemmed from an assault by another man.

On Tuesday, authorities obtained arrested warrants and charged a suspect in the case.

Logan Peter Dalgran, 23, of 402 Malvern Hill Court, is charged with involuntary manslaughter, said Kennedy. He turned himself into police.

It’s still unclear what caused the fight.
