Franklin appeared in court and was ordered held in custody until his next appearance.

Prosecutors say Franklin was dating Brown, 51, at the time of the shooting and both lived with Brown’s daughter, McCain, as well as her 9-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter.

According to prosecutors, McCain’s 9-year-old son told police he was in his room playing video games when he heard gunshots. Police said he ran out to the living room where he found his mother with a gunshot wound to the head, and Franklin allegedly standing over her body.

Prosecutors said the boy called 911. Officers were unable to get into the house at first because the door was locked, and McCain’s son couldn’t open it. When they forced their way inside, police said they found McCain fatally shot in the living room and Brown fatally shot in a bedroom.

McCain’s children were not harmed, but were taken to local hospital for treatment as a precaution.

Franklin’s next court date is January 24.
