Benjamin Anthony Hairston, 69, was found dead inside his Danville, Virginia, home on November 13, 2018. Authorities determined the cause of death was gun violence and opened a homicide investigation.

Police arrested David Preston Moss and charged him with first-degree murder. Investigators say the killing was allegedly a paid hit tied to a $150 debt and two grams of cocaine. A witness told police Moss had spoken about the firearm, saying it had been used in a robbery and that it ’had a body on it,’ information that helped link Moss to the case. When officers first arrived at Hairston’s residence, both the front door and his car were locked; Moss was later found at an apartment in Danville and keys to Hairston’s house and vehicle were recovered in Moss’s car. Moss was also charged separately with shoplifting a pair of shoes the day before the homicide.

Does anyone have information about Benjamin Hairston, his movements in Danville, or contacts who could help fill gaps in that timeline?
