I'm not from the Stuy so I don't know but he definitely got killed after robbing Biggie's right hand man. Could've been a coincidence, I really don't know. It was a set up, he got killed in a phone booth. He had so much beef it could've been anybody. At the time Bad Boy had a lot of killers on their team Tut, Nubbs from Flatbush, Henchman etc...so it's not impossible@FreshAIG ....who killed killer ben???...it said someone connected to b.i.g killed him is that true n who is that nikka ???
26 years agoThe Short, Mean Life Of 'Killer Ben'
BY TOM RAFTERY AND JOHN MARZULLI Saturday, August 19, 1995
Benjamin O'Garro was gunned down late Thursday night while talking on a pay phone outside the Walt Whitman housing project in Brooklyn. Some people may have been surprised O'Garro was out of prison. It is doubtful anyone was surprised by how he met his end. O'Garro, 26, who was known on the street as "Killer Ben," died the way he lived violently. He had been paroled last March after serving 61/2 years for the 1988 attempted murder of a police officer around the same projects in Fort Greene. In those days crack dealers like O'Garro had transformed the area into a war zone. One innocent victim of those wars was O'Garro's 3-year-old brother, Ben Shulka Williams, who was killed after gunmen sprayed the family apartment door with bullets on July 26, 1990. "Killer Ben" was sitting in an upstate prison cell at the time. The intended target was O'Garro's brother Jerome, who was involved in a drug-related dispute with the gunmen. The little boy's killing came to symbolize the wave of children being caught in the crossfire between heavily armed drug gangs that summer. It galvanized city officials to embark on a historic program to hire thousands of police officers under a program called Safe City/Safe Streets. While the program enacted by former Mayor David Dinkins enabled the Police Department to make great progress in reducing street crime, when "Killer Ben" was paroled his return to Fort Greene meant business as usual. Investigators said O'Garro's slaying is tied to a turf war being waged between two factions for control of the drug trade in those projects. Two other recent slayings have been tied to the fighting. O'Garro, who once used a 4-year-old boy as a shield when shots were fired at him in 1988, was standing alone at the pay phone on Myrtle Ave. when two men approached about 11:10 p.m., police said. One pulled a .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol and shot O'Garro five times in the torso and right leg. He was pronounced dead at Brooklyn Hospital. Despite his nickname, O'Garro was never convicted of murder. His parole on the attempted murder conviction would have expired in the year 2001.
