Benjamin Magee, 27, was killed on March 31, 2016, in Salem, Massachusetts, during a dispute over money tied to a drug transaction. Magee had accompanied a friend who intended to buy crack cocaine from 19-year-old Xavier Collazo of Roxbury. The argument escalated in an alleyway outside a home on Park Street, and Collazo drew a gun and shot Magee.

Collazo fled Massachusetts after the shooting and was arrested in Jacksonville, Florida, on April 13, 2016. He was charged with murder and initially pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. In September 2018 Collazo pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter and admitted to the shooting; he was sentenced to 15 to 17 years in state prison for Magee’s death.
