it seems as though Benjy had decided to make being a criminal an occupation.

According to court records, Young was out probation until 2016. Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder while wearing a mask, four counts of shooting into a building and six counts of delinquent in possession of a firearm.

The plea was in response to a grand jury indicting him July 2010, along with Ontavious Moore and Augustus Fontaine, in the attempted murders of 17-year-old Bernard Jones, and Marvin Crowley, Jr. and Tavaris Fox, both 15.

In June 2010, West Palm Beach Police came to 1216 Seventh St. in West Palm Beach around 3:30 p.m. to find Crowley shot several times in the chest and once in the leg, and Fox shot in the foot. Officers also learned Jones had been shot in the knee and had fled, according to a police report.

Witnesses at the time reported seeing a black Jeep Liberty with at least three men inside.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement records show that since 2007 Young was arrested on charges that include of aggravated assault, robbery, fleeing and eluding police, vehicle theft, and possession of burglary tools.

The outcome to those cases are not available, as he was a juvenile at the time of the arrests.
