Making use of social media on Tuesday, August 22, the Memphis Police Department let out the image of the person of interest in the shooting death of Benson. No arrest has been made as it's also noted that this is still an ongoing investigation.
The release of the suspect's photo has sparked debate, with some people expressing concerns for the individual's safety. "Them Folks know wat they doing that's y they put him on blast they know he might not make it through the night," one user noted on MPD's official social media account. Another predicted, "he won't make it even if he turn himself in they gon handle him behind bars."

"I'm ready for whatever come with this s**t. It's ok. Don't feel sorry for me. I'm not gone feel sorry for nobody. Only God knows," he added in a separate Story. "Gone make sure they feel me I promise ... Life will never be the same. But God got me. I'm the strongest man [in] the world."
