Bennie was BRAVE! Without hesitation, he STOOD UP and defended another child. Unfortunately, through his bravery he was shot six times and lost his life. He was taken too soon! He will forever be remembered as a HERO! He was a young, outgoing, kind and loving young man. He had a bright future with endless possibilities. He may be gone, but never forgotten.

My name is Paulette Chavez, and I had the pleasure of knowing Bennie. He and his sisters were members of my community center, at Thomas Bell CC. His oldest brother, Tyree Sewell, worked for me for three years. Bennie is survived by a loving family who needs our help. Let’s come together as a community to help his family during their time of need. They are located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
