Benjamin Forest Sims, a 30-year-old man from Cleveland, Ohio, died on September 30, 2018. Authorities investigated his death as a murder and said he was killed in a violent altercation.

Police identified Jerry Sims, Jr. as a suspect and charged him with aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, aggravated arson, offenses against a human corpse, and having weapons while under disability. During the trial, the defendant’s girlfriend, Erica Campbell, testified that he shot the victim and later set the victim’s vehicle on fire with help from a friend. Prosecutors also presented cellphone data and surveillance video consistent with that testimony. An inmate testified that he was responsible, and the defendant maintained his innocence, but the jury found Jerry Sims, Jr. guilty on all charges.

The court sentenced him to life with parole eligibility after 40 years. Does anyone have information about Benjamin’s final movements or contacts on September 30, 2018?
