On September 15, 2013, 34-year-old Angelina K. Benton was shot multiple times and killed outside her Snellville, Georgia, home after returning from a weekend trip with family. Benton had recently opened her home to Robert Bell and his wife, who were facing homelessness. According to prosecutors, Bell lay in wait that night and ambushed Benton, her 12-year-old son Joseph McDonald, her 19-year-old godson Raynard Daniel, and her boyfriend Justin Cato as they arrived. Joseph and Raynard were shot and killed at the door; Benton collapsed in a neighbor’s yard and was later pronounced dead. Justin Cato survived after being shot in the leg.

Robert Bell fled the scene and was the subject of an interstate manhunt. Investigators followed leads that placed him in several states before locating him in New Orleans, where he was taken into custody on October 24, 2013. He was extradited to Gwinnett County and indicted on multiple counts including murder and aggravated assault. Was anyone in the neighborhood that night able to provide information about Bell’s movements leading up to the ambush?
