On the afternoon of November 13, 2017, 18-year-old Leeandre Benton of Hamden, Connecticut, was walking near the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail when he was confronted in what began as a robbery. Three armed individuals—James Graham, Robert Moye, and Brennen Coleman—allegedly conspired to rob Benton. Hamden police found him on Dudley Street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital and died the following day after being shot in the back of the head.

Family and community members recalled Benton as a good young man with a promising future. The Hamden Police Department’s investigation identified the three suspects and led to arrests. What can anyone who knew Leeandre or witnessed the area around the trail on November 13 tell investigators?
