Joseph Benjamin, 40, was fatally shot on the night of September 30, 2020, while working as a security guard at Edgewood Court Apartments on Hardee Street NE in Atlanta. Officers found him on the side of the road with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. His Spider-Man–themed motorcycle was located near his body.

Benjamin was described as a former mixed martial arts fighter and stunt double who worked on several films, a father, and a community figure who sometimes dressed as Spider-Man to entertain children. Witnesses heard the gunfire but did not report seeing a vehicle leave the scene, and police said the assailant may have fled on foot. The motive remains unknown.

The Atlanta Police Department and Crime Stoppers offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest; initial reports from 2020 said no arrests had been made and no suspects publicly identified. If anyone knew Joseph or has information about that night, please share what is known with investigators.
