Randy Benson, a 59-year-old white man and longtime master carpenter in the Richmond Community, was shot to death at his Plantersville, Mississippi home on the night of July 24, 2021. Lee County deputies responded to a call of a shooting in progress at about 10 p.m. and found Benson with multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators say an altercation inside the residence led to the fatal shooting.

Evidence and witness statements identified 54-year-old Bradley Kevin King, an acquaintance from Nettleton, as the primary suspect. King left the scene in a small gray SUV and was considered armed and dangerous; a multi-county search ended when he was located and arrested in a wooded area near Tombigbee State Park with assistance from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and the U.S. Marshals Service. King was charged with murder. John Nathan Collier of Nettleton was arrested and charged with hindering prosecution and being an accessory after the fact for allegedly assisting King after the shooting.

Does anyone in the Richmond or Nettleton area have information about Benson, his movements that night, or the gray SUV seen leaving the scene?
