A 24-year-old Ohio man is headed to prison for more than six decades for his role in shooting up a trio of homes, killing a sleeping 12-year-old girl, over a social media post.

Antawan Benson was sentenced Monday to 67 years in prison for the shooting death of 7th grader Isabella Carlos last year in Dayton, the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Benson and his brother, Javen Conner, were convicted earlier this month in separate trials on charges including murder, discharging a firearm into a habitation, felonious assault and aggravated menacing.

According to prosecutors, Benson and Conner approached a woman in her car in Trotwood on Aug. 22, 2024, to confront her about a social media post involving their cousin. There was another woman and children present in the car.

Hours later, around 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 23, 2024, the brothers riddled three homes with bullets fired from an AK-47 and AR-15. Inside one of the houses was Isabella, who was sleeping in her bed.

Judge Gerald Parker wanted Benson to know Isabella, who went by Bella, likely did not die instantly after being shot.

Parker lamented the fact that Benson and Conner posted on Facebook a photo of the empty clips from their weapons after the shooting. The judge called it a “sense of false bravado.”
