It was October 21st, 2000, and twenty-four-year-old Clay Benjamin was attending a blues party at a residence on Granby Street in Toxteth, Liverpool, England. At some point during the event, someone stabbed Clay in the heart. The victim was rushed to the hospital but did not survive his injuries.
A thirty-four-year-old man named Eugene Weaver was arrested and placed on trial for the murder but was eventually acquitted. Three years later, though, a gunman burst into the Kensington home of thirty-five-year-old Valerie Weaver, Eugene’s sister, and started shooting, killing the family dog and wounding Valerie, her nineteen-year-old son Adrian, and her six-year-old daughter Makada. The crime was believed to be linked to the Clay Benjamin homicide possibly via a gangland feud.
The case has since gone cold.
