Benjamin Goff, a 41-year-old white man, was found dead at the Landmark Motel in Saint Petersburg, Florida, on June 25, 2021. Police responded to a report of a person shot around 5 p.m. and discovered Goff’s body in a second-floor room; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say Goff was shot during a robbery attempt in which the suspects were trying to take drugs and money and a struggle took place.

Two people were arrested in connection with the killing. Vincent Donnell Evans Jr., 24, was charged with first-degree felony murder and resisting arrest without violence. A 16-year-old male was arrested and charged with second-degree felony murder and resisting arrest without violence; his name was not disclosed because of his age. Police reported that Evans fired the shot that killed Goff during the struggle.

The department offered a reward for information and said the investigation drew on tips from the community. Does anyone have information about Goff’s movements before June 25, 2021, or about the Landmark Motel that could help clarify what happened that day?
