Brent King, 42, was shot and killed on the morning of May 27, 2019, in the 300 block of Capital Avenue NE in Battle Creek, Michigan. King was walking with a group of friends and was reportedly headed toward the scene of an earlier shooting when an argument with a woman walking a dog escalated. A man intervened, fired multiple shots, and King ran a short distance before collapsing from his fatal gunshot wound.

Battle Creek police named 34-year-old Randale Lawrence Benjamin of Springfield as the primary suspect and issued a warrant charging him with open murder, being a felon in possession of a firearm, assault with intent to murder, and three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Benjamin was arrested and held without bond at the Calhoun County Jail.

Prosecutors offered Benjamin a plea deal in November 2020 to resolve some charges as second-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, and one count of felony firearm, but he rejected the offer and chose to go to trial, which was scheduled for 2021. Does anyone have information about King, his movements that day, or witnesses to the confrontation?
