KENOSHA — As the manhunt for Lawrence Franklin Jr. is still underway, he has been charged with two counts of murder, for Amiah Prather and her unborn child, Honesti.
New details show the gun that the suspect used to kill Amiah was allegedly purchased by another woman.
That woman was identified as 22-year-old Kaliyah Patterson.

According to the criminal complaint, Patterson purchased the gun with the suspect and he provided her with a credit card to make the purchase. This all happened the day Amiah and her unborn child were killed with that gun.
Patterson was arrested and charged with straw purchasing a firearm. At her initial appearance Tuesday, the court imposed a $50,000 cash bail.
Outside of the courtroom, the victim's family told TMJ4's Glenda Valdes, they are simply asking for justice for their loved one.
Austin Jaeckle, who lives right across from where the murder took place, says he worries about the suspect still being on the loose.
"It kinda puts everybody on the city on edge, but it makes you have an eye open, looking around and making sure you have an eye open for this person," Austin said.
The Kenosha Police Department is still searching for the suspect.
The Kenosha Police Department encourages anyone with information that may assist their investigators to contact the Kenosha Police Department’s non-emergency phone number at 262-656-1234.
