Eddie Benevides was the brother of Domingo Benavides, a witness to the murder of officer J.D. Tippit. Eddie Benevides is on all the lists of "mysterious deaths" since, according to conspiracy author Robert Groden:
After Domingo Benavides witnessed the Tippit murder, he began to receive numerous threats upon his life. Along with other eyewitnesses, had had claimed that Tippit's killer did not look anything like Lee Harvey Oswald. After Benevides brother Edward (who looked very much like Domingo) was killed in a bar fight — a possible case of mistaken identity — Domingo Benavides changed his story, stating that the murderer resembled Oswald.
