LTerrick Benion, a 23-year-old African American man from Chicago, Illinois, was shot multiple times and found dead on July 29, 2013. Investigators treated his death as a homicide after witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away from the scene.

Police developed a theory that the killing was gang-related and identified a 25-year-old African American man as the primary suspect. That suspect was arrested, charged with first-degree murder and other offenses, tried, found guilty by a jury and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Several other people were later implicated and faced charges such as accessory to murder, obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

Benion’s family and the community responded to the case as an example of the toll of gun and gang violence in Chicago, and his family worked with local groups to raise awareness. Does anyone have information about Benion’s life, the neighborhood where this happened, or details that could add context to the case?
