Malik Bennett is wanted for the homicide of Damon Brown. Damon had met three potential buyers in a mobile home during a drug deal. The buyers pulled out guns and demanded drugs and money before shooting Damon to death.
After Damon was killed, Malik gave a statement to authorities with his attorney present. He claimed that he had only been in the living room and was not armed and not involved in the robbery. A witness then mentioned that Malik had allegedly pointed a gun at them during the robbery.
Warrants for murder and robbery were issued for Malik on January 27, 2021. Authorities thought he was hiding in Indianapolis but have not been able to locate him. Two other suspects in Damon's homicide were arrested. One was convicted and the other case resulted in a mistrial because of a hung jury.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact Crime Stoppers Of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS (8477) if you have any information on Malik Bennett's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, September 16, 2023, Malik has a warrant flag in Indiana's Odyssey court records database. There have also been no case events filed since January of 2021.
I hope that Damon's family will get the justice and answers that they deserve. Fugitives such as Malik should be considered very dangerous and always have the potential to injure or kill innocent victims as well.
