Benjamin Morris was a 34-year-old man from Brooklyn who was found dead in his apartment on March 24, 2016, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The New York Police Department opened a homicide investigation; investigators initially had no immediate suspects and relied on forensic evidence and witness statements to reconstruct what happened.

Investigators later identified a suspect who was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The case proceeded to trial, where the prosecution presented forensic findings and eyewitness accounts and the defense challenged the sufficiency of the evidence.

An obituary for Benjamin Morris lists nicknames Mikey and Mike Dog. Reports also describe a separate Brooklyn murder of a man named Michael Morris on January 11, 2016, for which Rayshawn Demosthene pleaded guilty; the differing dates create uncertainty about whether the cases are the same person.
