Joseph Benson, 23, was shot and killed on August 15, 2017, at Wahl Park in Milwaukee after a physical altercation on a basketball court. The confrontation began as a fistfight between Benson and 31-year-old Ronqwell Fondren. After losing the fistfight, Fondren allegedly took a .380 pistol from a bystander and shot Benson twice; Benson was found face down on the court and pronounced dead at the scene.

Fondren and a companion, Alicia Binder, had driven to the park for the encounter. Prosecutors said Fondren was angered by his inability to land a punch, took the gun from Binder, and shot Benson in a fit of rage; Benson reportedly pleaded for his life before being shot. Fondren was arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide and possession of a firearm by a felon and was later convicted. The court imposed a life sentence with the possibility of extended supervision after 30 years, with a concurrent sentence for the firearm charge.

Benson was an Army veteran who had hoped to attend Marquette University and pursue a career in law and public service. His family described him as brilliant and dedicated to helping local youth.
