Murder Victim's Employer Offers $25,000 Reward For Suspects In Death Of Frank Knight

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The longtime employer of a man gunned down in front of his Sacramento County home is offering reward up to $25,000 for information leading an arrest.

Frank Knight, 58, worked for Goodwill Industries of Sacramento for 35 years, handling the same Monday through Friday shift until he was gunned down outside his South Sacramento home on Monday morning.

Knight lived with cerebral palsy, leaving him blind, partially deaf and walking with a limp. Investigators say he was on his way to his ParaTransit stop before work on Monday morning.

"I really don't know why anyone would want to shoot someone like that," his neighbor, who didn't want to be named out of fear of retaliation, said.

"He had the eyesight of Mr. Magoo, and shuffled along like E.T. and couldn't hear," his neighbor said. "That's probably what got him in trouble, but he was basically a prisoner in his own body."

Knight went to church every Sunday and worked at the Goodwill on Franklin Boulevard for more than 35 years, most recently as a greeter.
