Freddy Demond Benson, a 19-year-old African American male, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of August 19, 2016, at the Oakhurst Apartment Complex, 910 Nassau Street West in Tampa, Florida. Multiple gunshots struck him around 1:30 a.m.; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. The Tampa Police Department has classified his death as a homicide.

Investigators say unknown suspects fired the shots; no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay offered a cash reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of those responsible. Separately, lawyers from Fulgencio Law filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Hillsborough County on behalf of Benson’s family, alleging the apartment complex management was negligent and that inadequate security contributed to his death.

The case remains open and law enforcement is asking anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone have contact with Freddy or see suspicious activity at the Oakhurst complex that night?
