Benjamin Paul Ikner, a 38-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Orlando on the afternoon of June 6, 2014. Deputies responding to a home on South Ivey Lane found Ikner and 27-year-old Robert Sims with gunshot wounds; Ikner was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead, while Sims survived with critical injuries.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during a robbery. Witnesses reported a black car leaving the scene and told police two suspects entered the house and shot Ikner while a third stayed in the vehicle. Family members say the robbers forced one of the men to strip before shooting him. Neighbors described Ikner as an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Three suspects remain at large and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information. If anyone knew Benjamin or saw activity around South Ivey Lane on June 6, 2014, please share what you know.
