RIP man, sad situation..... It's completely theoretical but I wonder if his car backfired when he revved it in the cops drive-way and that sound was mistaken for gunfire....

I met Ben at the project g meet this past year. I was surprised at how down to earth and friendly he was to a broke teenager like me. We must have talked for a decent 5 minutes with him never bringing business into the conversation. He was a genuine person that I would be honored to have considered a friend. RIP Ben.
That is what I assumed happened. They say he revved the engine and the gun shots went off. Sound like a backfire to me or a two-step control. Subaru are known for there loud backfire. I shouldn't have accused the officer the way I did though. I just jumped off the deep end and I shouldn't have. I just can't believe he gone. His products are some of the best out there.Quote:

^^YES^^
RIP
This is such a tragedy, when I read about it on FB I couldn't (didn't want to) believe it was him. I met Ben last year at Pro-G like many of you and we chatted through IG untill the BPF when up that's were we really started to become friends, turns out he grew up where I live and knew some folks I know now. He made me a mod on his forum and further show me what a selfless person he was when anyone needed a hand. He was a visionary and had big plans for his growing company. My heart goes out to his family his girl his pup Zelda and everyone who knew him. RIP BEN! #BPgang

I don't feel like the reporter should've linked him with "street racing"... made me a little -.-

I never had the chance to talk to him, but he seemed really nice. The story seems so muddled...
