At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies responded to a home around 10:53 p.m. after a report of a physical disturbance. When deputies arrived, they reportedly found Brian Benfield armed with a shotgun. Benfield had allegedly attacked two family members with a knife. As deputies walked toward the house, Benfield reportedly showed a shotgun. Benfield failed to drop the shotgun and allegedly it toward one of the deputies. Two deputies shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Brian H. Benfield, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
