Bennie Sanders, 71, was killed inside his Mount Vernon, Kentucky, residence on Friday, January 6, 2017. Authorities said he sustained a fatal gunshot wound during what they described as a home invasion. Sanders had been a car salesman and played college football as a quarterback; reports say he was reportedly drafted by the New York Jets. He enjoyed golf, fishing, and football and is survived by children and a companion who mourned his death.

State police conducted an extensive investigation into the violent intrusion. In April 2017, three people from Mount Vernon were arrested in connection with the case: Jonathan W. Taylor, 31, and Levi L. Bradley, 23, were charged with murder, first-degree burglary, and first-degree robbery, and 19-year-old Kayla Pitman was charged with hindering apprehension or prosecution. Is there anyone who knew Bennie or who has information about the events of January 6, 2017?
