Benjamin Broughton, 29, was killed in Port Norris on March 22, 2014, when he was shot once in the face outside his home following a domestic altercation. The shooter, 20-year-old Errick Young, fled the scene and was the subject of a multiagency manhunt that tracked him to an apartment building in Clementon. Young was captured there on April 9, 2014, after an attempted escape through a second-floor window; he was taken into custody and held on one-million-dollar cash bail.

Errick Young later pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter. At sentencing in October, seven of Broughton’s loved ones described the impact of his death. The prosecution highlighted that Young brought a loaded gun to the dispute and fled afterward. The court imposed a 22-year prison term, with more than 18 years required before parole eligibility, followed by five years of parole supervision.

If anyone knew Benjamin, his movements that night, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
