Benjamin E. McMichael, 67, was found dead inside his Logan neighborhood home in Philadelphia after being shot on April 28, 2022. He lived at the 4600 block of North Broad Street and ran his own construction company. Benjamin shared the house with his grandson, 22-year-old Czar McMichael, who had worked in the family business.

Police say Benjamin went into his grandson’s third-floor bedroom during a routine inspection and, after a dispute, was shot multiple times. Two days later, on April 30, a relative entered the house to check on Benjamin and encountered Czar on the stairs. That relative, identified as 45-year-old Anthony Ham, was shot several times and later found dead on the second floor; Benjamin’s body was on the third floor. Responding officers arrested Czar a short distance away and charged him with murder and related offenses; investigators noted no prior criminal record and possible mental health struggles.

Are there details about Benjamin’s life in the Logan neighborhood or the family business that could help explain what happened?
