Kenneth William Martin Jr., 43, was shot and killed on the evening of November 30, 2016, while walking with his fiancée, Cynthia Sorrels, in Benton Township, Michigan. The couple was en route to the Ravines mobile home park from a friend’s house when an individual approached and demanded money while brandishing a 12-gauge shotgun. Martin was struck in the chest and died at the scene in the 1900 block of East Empire Avenue; Sorrels was unharmed. Benton Township officers arrived after a call about a shooting at about 9:19 p.m.

The day after the shooting, a 20-year-old Benton Township resident, Anthony Sanders, was arrested and, during an interview with police, acknowledged involvement in the homicide. He was lodged at the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department and charged with open murder, armed robbery, and felony possession of a firearm in connection with Martin’s death.

Does anyone have information about that November 30 evening or the area around East Empire Avenue that could shed further light on what happened?
