Derrick Robert Holsinger, a 33-year-old man from Portsmouth, Ohio, was found dead inside his apartment in the 1800 block of Wayne Avenue on September 5, 2020. The Portsmouth Police Department responded and opened an investigation into his death.

Investigators arrested 38-year-old Benny Kilgore Jr. of Franklin Furnace and charged him with murder after Holsinger’s body was discovered. An arrest warrant was also issued for Anthony L. Louderback, who reportedly had outstanding warrants from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections and the Portsmouth Municipal Court. The Scioto County Grand Jury later indicted both Kilgore and Louderback on murder charges.

Family and friends remember Holsinger for his love of boxing, weightlifting, and music; a celebration of life was held attended by his sisters Jackie, Tasha, Andrea, and Christinia Holsinger and extended family. Anyone with information about what happened that night is asked to contact the Portsmouth Police Department.
