On the evening of February 3, 2017, deputies responded to a residence on Sugar Creek Circle off Turnpike Road in Darlington, South Carolina, and found 47-year-old Robert Earl Benson dead of a gunshot wound. Benson was described as White/Caucasian. Neighbors reported not hearing any shots before law enforcement arrived.

Living with Benson at the time was 53-year-old Mary Denise Poston. Their relationship was described by acquaintances as toxic. Poston was taken into custody at the scene and later charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime. She was denied bond in initial court proceedings and a preliminary hearing was set for the following month. SLED Forensics Investigators assisted in the investigation.

Are there readers who knew Benson or Poston or who saw anything on Sugar Creek Circle that evening?
