The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed first degree murder, armed criminal action and robbery charges today against a Honduran illegal immigrant who allegedly shot a man in the head in the parking lot of the Road Ranger stations at 2101 S. Prigmore Avenue, then teamed with his brother to dump the man's body in a ditch at the 14.8 mile marker of I-44.
Adin Aman Cantanero Benitez, 26, will be held without bond, according to online Jasper County Circuit Court records.
Charges against the brother, Jose Cantanero Benitez, 20, also an illegal immigrant, are anticipated, according to a Jasper County Sheriff's Office news release.
The allegations against Adin Aman Cantanero Benitez are detailed in the probable cause statement:
On September 16th, 2024 Jasper County Sheriff’s Office Deputies were alerted to a deceased individual, Victim 1, in the ditch on the south side of Interstate I-44 at the Eastbound 14.8 mile marker in Joplin, Jasper County, MO. The victim was found by deputies deceased with an injury to the head. During the investigation, it was learned that Victim 1’s vehicle was missing.
On September 18th, 2024 detectives’ were notified by the Independence Police Department that Victim 1’s vehicle was recovered and was used in an assault with a firearm in their jurisdiction, which they had their suspect {Jose Cantanero Benitez} in custody.
Detectives processed Victim 1’s vehicle and located a red stain believed to be blood in the vehicle. An interview was then conducted with Suspect 2(IPD had in custody for an unrelated assault with a firearm).
Suspect 2 confessed that he was in Joplin, Jasper County, MO with his brother, Adin Aman Cantarero-Benitez, on Sunday 09/15/2024 and 09/16/2024. Suspect 2 advised they were on their way to Oklahoma to purchase methamphetamine but they ran out of money and stopped near a gas station in Joplin, MO.
Suspect 2 admitted to giving Adin his pistol before the trip. Suspect 2 advised he waited for Adin near the gas station after Adin told him he had a “plan” to get money. Adin returned later with Victim 1’s vehicle.
Suspect 2 advised Adin was sitting on top of the victim and the victim was deceased while Adin was driving the victim’s vehicle. Suspect 2 told detectives that he followed Adin to the interstate while Adin was still driving the victim’s car and sitting on the victim’s lap.
Adin and Suspect 2 then stopped on Interstate I-44 and Adin and Suspect 2 dragged and left the victim’s body in the ditch. Suspect 2 was asked if he shot the victim. Suspect 2 advised several times that Adin shot the victim.
Suspect 2 advised that he drove his vehicle (suspect vehicle) while Adin drove the victim’s vehicle and then at one point, they switched vehicles and Adin gave Suspect 2 back his firearm. Suspect 2 advised that he then drove around the victim’s vehicle until he was taken into custody by IPD.
It was learned that Adin was taken into custody on September 16th, 2024 in the evening hours for driving while intoxicated by IPD and the vehicle he was driving matched the suspect vehicle (Suspect 2's vehicle).
A booking photo from IPD showed Adin in a distinctive black and white button down shirt when he was arrested. On September 19th, 2024 security footage from the gas station was reviewed. The victim’s vehicle is seen on camera in the earlier hours of 09/16/2024.
Adin is seen on camera approach the victim’s vehicle and then get in and drive off with a subject believed to be victim 1 pushed over in the driver’s seat. Adin is wearing what appears to be the same distinctive shirt in the security footage.
Suspect 2 described to detective’s what he and Adin were wearing the morning of the murder. Adin’s clothing description in security footage at the gas station matched what suspect 2 advised Adin was wearing.
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office news release indicates the younger Benitez was also allegedly involved in two more acts of violence, including a shooting.
On 09-17-24 just after 5:00 PM, the Independence Police Department was called in reference to the second suspect, Jose Cantarero Benitez, 20, who had attempted to carjack another vehicle and shot a woman in the chest. He fled that scene and was later arrested by KCPD after they had received a call of another woman that he had pistol whipped.
After a foot pursuit, he was arrested. The female victim that was shot is reportedly in critical condition.

This is the result of open borders, Can you democrats admit that now?
Trump 2024
"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists......"
8:31 you are correct, Trump 2024
This story is not true. Illegal immigration is only a problem in states like Texas and Arizona. Plus the people they are catching they are vetting before they are given a court date to appear. Vice-President Harris has done a good job working on this even though she is not technically the border czar.
The borders aren't open, but keep regurgitating whatever Sean Hannity and Trump is feeding you.
Like it or not, Biden has continued Trumps border policies, so if you don't like it, maybe blame Trump.
Mmmm, looks like the racists are going to have tons of fun with this one.
Amen! No, they can't.
I guess I should clarify for you Demons, Biden/Harris has made it more efficient to come into the USA they are flying in, so your border statement is somewhat true but very misleading
7 AM you are fool, keep voting Demon
Did they illegally come into the country?
Did they shoot a guy in the head?
Did they shoot another in the chest?
Did they pistol whip a woman?
Did they steal a vehicle?
Did they attempt a carjacking?
Did they get a DWI?
Why do you democrats support this?
This has nothing to do with race, it’s just illegal.
If only the magats cared half as much about the school shootings.
@10:33 Is obviously lying, like the rest of the Republicant party.
Democrats support this now? News to me. Either way, we're still operating under Trumps border policies.
1039, No one supports it you idiot. If all of you magat deplorables would check the FBI statistics, you would find that illegals proportionally are less likely to commit a crime that all of you rednecks. Stop listening to your trump-god and his incessant lies. Your gullibility would be hilarious if it weren't so ridiculous and dangerous.
They have already committed a crime by being here illegally, how damn hard is that to understand? There first act of coming into the country is committing a crime. Now take a big breath in and realize it’s the truth…
Yes we love school shootings are you serious? Who wants to protect babies? Who wants to protect children from hormone blockers, genital mutilation etc. Your hell bent on destroying our youth, they are the future of our country…
Totally agree 1104
When will all you Leftist Radical Woke Democrats - Realize - Illegal Alien = Not from our Country, They are Breaking the LAW!!! If they Broke the Law to get into this Country - WHY OH WHY - Cannot you Understand that will Break Any Law or Do Anything to Try and stay in the US - That Includes, Robbing, Stealing, Murder, Whatever - THINK - You Bunch of LIBERAL IDIOTS - Maybe when they Try Hurting You or Your Family - You won't be so Damn Sympathetic towards them...
328 another example of idiocracy at work. Illegals are helping put food on your table and keeping inflation down. Round them up like animals as you disgusting magats are planning to do, and you think food prices are high now? Your trump-god has you all believing egregious lies much in the way hitler got Germany to believe his lie. History does repeat itself and you gullible losers are looking like you're on the wrong side of history.
There's a good comment buried in there. Next time, why don't you drop the "disgusting magats" and the "trump-God?" It may not be as much fun, but it makes it easier for me and other people to read.
I found it ‘odd‘ that one local station chose to leave the detail of ‘illegals‘ out of their story!! For the people who think the millions of illegals are not in ALL our states--you are very mistaken! .Them, their drugs, and all their criminal activities! . Not saying all illegals are into nefarious activities, but certainly an incredible number are--which will be affecting ALL Americans--even here in mid-America! Biden chooses to not enforce the border laws in place, and sends the World the message that it‘s OK for thugs to come thru our borders--which I feel sends a very message! . We want a safe country, and it seems to be slipping farther away!. Unfortunately, I do not think Harris will change the course of this Border Invasion--that Biden chooses to allow--for reasons no one seems to understand!!! RFK was for change, but Dems took all steps to keep him off ballots; do we really still have democracy??? . Seems it is slipping away, right in front of us.
6:50 keep inflation down, your delusional how much money have we invested in each Illegal
Round them up like animals, no I want to round them up like people that broke the damn law,
I’m still looking for the good comment that Randy says is buried in this pile of BS.
Always with the Hitler BS, isn’t that the guy who took guns away?
Isn’t he the socialist?
Isn’t he the guy that killed innocent lives?
Trump 2024!!!!!! CLOSE THE BORDERS!!!!! Prayers for this man's family. 🙏
Yes, our News and Reporting are becoming so PC (Politically Correct) that you cannot say the Criminal was Black, African American, White, Hispanic, or an Illegal Alien, Gang Member, or Religious Faction, Etc., Etc., Etc., - without being called a Racist, a Magat, a Nazi - Just look at the Nationwide Reporting on the Shootings in the Kansas City Chiefs Parade Celebration - there was No News on their Ethnicity or Race of these Criminals.
Yet, when I fill out any Paperwork for Work, Medical, Government, Etc.,
I have to give my Ethnicity and Race - seems somewhat slighted.
Yup I agree though the same thing about the KC shooting didn’t fit the agenda keep it real quiet.
I wonder what the census would look like under these woke politicians. Im guessing a lot boxes that say other 🤣
Facts: Keep voting Democrat, and your children and grandchildren will grow up in a third world country, without ever leaving the states.
So you're saying that anyone who breaks A law will break ANY law?
Wow, that's one hell of a hot take. A wrong take, but still hot.
8:16AM and 11:34AM - Both Kansas City and St. Louis - Mayors are Both Democrats and African Americans - Who Fail to see the Violence in their Cities and want to Blame Others - Including the Republicans, the White Population, and even the Federal Government. Yet they stand by and do Nothing - and Fail to Bring about any Unity - Other than Blaming Others.
If you read further, you will see that the majority of the Most Dangerous Cities in the United States are Democratically Controlled.
Of course I will probably be labeled a - Racist, Nazi, a Magat, for telling the Truth. Which is why we have so much Divide in our Country, because People do not want to - See the Truth when it is Right in Front of Them.
Kansas City Mayor - Quinton Lucas - Democrat / African American.
Kansas City is Ranked 8th most Dangerous City in the United States by
US News and World Report.
St. Louis Mayor - Tishaura Jones - Democrat / African American.
St. Louis is Ranked 2nd most Dangerous City in the United States by US News and World Report.
The Number-1 Most Dangerous City in the United States is Memphis, TN, Who's Mayor is Paul Young - Democrat - African American.
The Number-3 Most Dangerous City in the United States is Detroit, MI, Who's Mayor is Mike Duggan - Democrat - White.
Again, When the Truth is Right in Front of You and you Fail to Believe it then Nothing will ever Change.
Fun fact, Biden is currently using Trumps exact border policies.
Statistically speaking, natural born Americans are into more illegal activities than illegal immigrants.
Amazing, that's not actually a fact....
Oh look, someone else talking out of their back hole!
