Justin Bentler, 26, was killed in Phoenix, Arizona, in late December 2013 in a violent incident that remains unsolved. Homicide records tie the case to 3611 South 59th Avenue (ZIP 85043) and show the death reported to Phoenix police on December 31, 2013; an online memorial with a matching age gives a date of death of December 18, suggesting the fatal event may have occurred days before it was recorded.

Bentler had family and community ties to Hermiston, Oregon; a Hermiston High School roster lists a Justin Bentler as a 2007 graduate and community posts describe a candlelight vigil at Weber Field on December 21, 2013, followed by a celebration of life the following April. Phoenix Police Department is the lead agency, and public cold-case entries record the suspect as unknown and the case as unsolved.

Did anyone in Hermiston or Phoenix know Justin or have information that could help this long-open case?
