Jason John Benson, aged 33, tragically died on June 25, 2015, in Roseville, California. Benson, along with Warren Alexander Galsote, was found in a horrific state on a quiet street in Roseville. Both men had been shot in the head and set on fire. The gruesome discovery was made by a resident who heard noises outside his home late at night. Upon investigating, he found the two men burning and attempted to extinguish the flames with a garden hose before calling emergency services.
Despite efforts to save them, both men succumbed to their injuries a few days later.
The investigation into the deaths of Benson and Galsote revealed that they had no known connections to the area where they were found. The Placer County Sheriff's Office classified the incident as a double homicide but struggled to identify a clear motive or suspects. Benson's father, Kevin, expressed his shock and confusion, stating that his son might have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. He also mentioned that Jason had been living with and caring for his grandparents in Sacramento and had no known gang affiliations.
The case remains unsolved, with no arrests or suspects identified. The authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward, offering a cash reward for tips leading to an arrest. The brutal nature of the crime and the lack of clear leads have made it a challenging case for investigators. Benson's family continues to seek justice and answers for the senseless murder of their loved one.
