The police reportedly threw a flashbang grenade which most likely blinded Benitez, and after exchanging some shots they were able to kill him and save the boy. There was a $20,000 reward on this man if reported to the police anything that led them to him. Benitez was orginially looked for by the police after he reportedly killed ex girlfriend Stephanie Spears with a dumbbell four years ago.
