Benjamin Campbell, 61, was found dead on the shoulder of Stanley Farm Road in Burton, South Carolina, on the morning of Tuesday, September 27, 2016. A passing motorist alerted authorities; deputies determined he had not died of natural causes and opened a homicide investigation. An autopsy showed Campbell suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators eventually arrested 18-year-old Ishmael Rivers in December 2016 and charged him with Campbell’s murder. Rivers’ brother William Heyward was initially charged as an accessory after the fact but was later cleared. Prosecutors alleged an altercation between Rivers and Campbell and suggested a drug-related connection, though the murder weapon was never recovered.

After several stalled trials — an initial jury pool dismissal for lack of minority representation and a second trial that ended in mistrial — a third jury in April 2021 returned a verdict of not guilty on all charges. No one was convicted in Campbell’s killing.

Did anyone in the Burton or Roseida Road area know Benjamin Campbell or see anything on September 27, 2016 that could still help explain what happened?
