Samuel Coardes was 25 when he was fatally shot in front of a convenience store on Spruill Avenue in North Charleston, South Carolina, on July 12, 2014. The shooting was captured on the store’s surveillance footage, and investigators used that video to identify a suspect the same day.

The suspect, Tyrone Malcolm Benn of North Charleston, was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Family members said Benn had been a friend of Coardes before the shooting. At trial prosecutors relied on the surveillance video, a telephone call Benn made from jail, and testimony that Benn tried to destroy evidence by washing himself with bleach, a scent officers detected at his arrest. In April 2016 a Charleston County jury found Benn guilty; a judge later imposed life for the murder and a concurrent five-year term on the weapons charge.

Does anyone have memories of Samuel or information about the days leading up to July 12, 2014 that could shed light on what happened?
