Family of White Hall student shot, killed before graduation speaks out

WHITE HALL, Ark. - The night before graduating from White Hall High School, Benjamen Redix was shot and killed on May 18, leaving his family with an everlasting nightmare.

Ben's mother, Shaneisha Robinson said her son would tell her daily that all he wanted to do was make her proud.

Digging through a box of Ben's football and track awards, Robinson said she is proud, but even more heartbroken.

"I'm just trying to go minute by minute," she said as the week anniversary of her son's death approaches.

Redix was shot and killed on May 18 in what police are calling an accidental shooting by 17-year-old Jamari Douglas in North Little Rock.

"I know he is going to a better place, so I am content with it," Ben's father Ben Redix Sr. said.
