A teen's body is found next to a rescue mission In the spring of 2008, the life of 17-year-old Corey Douglas Benton was tragically cut short in Oklahoma City. An African-American male, Corey was found deceased on Thursday, April 3, 2008. His body was discovered near the Grace Rescue Mission, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his abdomen, left thigh, and left arm.
At the time of his death, Corey was a student and was also known for his volunteer work.
The circumstances surrounding his murder remain a mystery, and his case has since become a cold case. Despite the passage of time, there have been no publicly announced arrests, and no suspects have been officially named in connection with his killing.
The investigation into Corey Benton's death is ongoing. Law enforcement officials continue to seek information from the public that might lead to a breakthrough in the case and bring closure to his family. The lack of resolution has left a lingering sense of injustice and unanswered questions for those who knew and cared for the young man.
