Benjamin Merritt, 34, was shot and killed during a road-rage incident on northbound Highway 141 near Gravois Bluffs Boulevard in Fenton, Missouri, on a Friday morning. Police were called about 8:10 a.m. after multiple vehicles were stopped and found Merritt suffering from a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries. Authorities say the dispute escalated when both vehicles stopped, Merritt exited his car and approached the other driver, allegedly flicked cigarette ash or a cigarette toward the driver’s face, then began walking back to his vehicle. The other driver, identified as Robert Mulkey, 53, of Crystal City, Missouri, is accused of shooting Merritt in the back and was charged the same day with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Reports state Mulkey was held on a $500,000 cash-only bond with no 10% option.

Friends and family remembered Merritt as Benny or Ben; a fundraiser set up after the shooting noted the shock to his partner and children. Who has information about what happened on Highway 141 that morning?
