Tory Jacob Benefield has just been captured at a location in the city of Atlanta by Sheriff Victor Hill’s elite Fugitive Squad without incident.  Benefield was wanted for a Murder that was committed in the city of Lovejoy.  

On the evening of November 29th, 2019, Officers with the City of Lovejoy Police Department responded to reports of shots fired.  Upon arrival at a local gas station, a male victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest was located in the parking lot.  The male gunshot victim was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and died.

It was determined through investigation that the victim and two other individuals had planned to meet with a subject to conduct a drugs for money transaction.  During the course of the exchange, three males, one who who has now been identified as Tory Jacob Benefield, approached the vehicle in which the victim and the two other individuals were seated.  A firearm was produced and demands were made that the occupants of the vehicle hand over their personal belongings.  The male victim became involved in a struggle and was shot in the chest.  As one of the other occupants of the vehicle sped away, additional shots were fired striking the vehicle.  

After the preliminary investigation, the City of Lovejoy Police Department took out warrants for Benefield’s arrest for Murder with Malice, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, and Criminal Attempt to Commit Armed Robbery.  

Soon Benefeild will walk through the doors of “The Hill-ton” where he will get accustomed to facing the wall at Georgia’s toughest para-military jail.
