He stayed on the run for four years, and even made the FBI's wanted list. Inevitably, the authorities caught up with him.
"As soon as he opened the door, that's when they felt they had no choice but to fire," an investigator said. Benitez had taken his son hostage during that final confrontation. His son was shot in the leg, but survived. Benitez died from multiple gunshots.
