William Billy Benson, 28, was killed during a violent home invasion and shootout at the Madison Lamplight Apartments in London, Ohio, on January 22, 2018. Two attackers forced entry into apartment 10C, where Benson and his friend Zachary Edmund lived. A fierce exchange of gunfire occurred inside the unit and continued into the front yard; Benson was shot and died in the front yard while Edmund escaped and sought help from neighbors. Edmund survived but suffered serious injuries and was taken to the hospital.

Police identified one attacker as Justin Coffey, 24, who later died at a hospital in Columbus. The other man checked himself into a Springfield hospital with gunshot wounds, is believed to be the trigger man, and remains a suspect. Investigators have been working to identify that suspect and gather evidence. Neighbors noted the community was shocked, since London had not seen a murder in nearly a decade, and some residents questioned security at the apartment complex after the shooting.

If anyone knew William, was present that night, or has information about the unidentified man who checked into the Springfield hospital, please share what is known.
