Benjamin Drains Jr, 23, of Philadelphia, was killed in Olney on May 23, 2017. Police say he was shot six times and investigators concluded he was the intended target. No suspects or arrests have been publicly named and no litigation is reported.

Benjamin was known locally for his kindness — carrying extra water for people experiencing homelessness and spending time with neighborhood children playing sports and video games. His family had suffered an earlier loss when his father, a police officer, died during Benjamin’s teenage years; friends describe Benjamin as a role model in the community.

The homicide investigation remains open. If anyone knew Benjamin, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
