Man gets 45 years in connection with murder of 9-year-old Dallas girl
A photo of 9-year-old Brandoniya Bennett. She was killed when someone fired into an apartment in Old East Dallas in a gang-related shooting, police say.
Defense lawyers Lalon “Clipper” Peale and Jeff Boncek asked the jury for mercy because, they said, Benton was not the shooter. He faced up to life in prison.Tyrese Simmons and someone who lived in the same complex as Brandoniya and her family. Police said Simmons shot into the home after mistaking it for his rival’s. Five bullets pierced the family’s apartment.“Would it be any different if Davonte was not involved?” Boncek said. “The sad answer is, ‘No, it wouldn’t be different.
But prosecutors Christy Harris and Stephanie Fargo argued Benton abused mercy he received from Collin County prosecutors two days before the shooting Aug. 14, 2019. Benton pleaded guilty on Aug. 12, 2019, to two aggravated robbery charges in exchange for a type of probation that would’ve allowed him to avoid a first-degree felony conviction if he stayed out of trouble, Harris said. Benton held someone at gunpoint in those cases, Harris said.
Davonte Benton, 19, sits at the courtroom at Frank Crowley Courts Building in Dallas on Friday, Nov. 11, 2022. Benton was convicted Thursday of killing 9-year-old Brandoniya Bennett. She was slain in August 2019 when Benton, who'd been feuding with a fellow rapper, shot into the wrong apartment in Old East Dallas, killing her as she sat on the couch watching TV.
“Brandoniya was effervescent,” Brennion said. “She was bubbly and she was sparkly. She was a very happy young girl that had a lot of friends.”
