SUMMARY: Following a mass shooting after the Franklinton Mardi Gras parade, town leaders confirmed that the Krewe of Pepe will roll again next year, as the incident was not related to the parade itself. In a packed meeting, Franklinton officials emphasized support for the Krewe and plans to enhance security for future events. One of the shooting victims, 20-year-old Cameron Hosley, survived being shot seven times and is expected to recover fully. His mother expressed gratitude and clarified that she does not blame the parade. The Krewe’s founder, Pepe Tate, vowed to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere and work closely with police for safety measures.
