A man from Florida linked to the murder of a mother while she was in bed with her children has been extradited to the county where the crime took place, nearly two years after the event. Previously, he was detained out-of-county on federal firearms charges. Insights from that case, along with court documents, shed light on the circumstances surrounding the homicide.

Benjamin Garmon was moved to Orange County’s custody on January 10, following his guilty plea for the weapons charges. His sentencing was postponed pending the outcome of the murder trial, as revealed by federal and state court records accessed by Law&Crime. Prior to this, he was held in Seminole County and is slated for arraignment on January 26 for the murder of 30-year-old Porshe Streeter at her Orlando residence.

The federal judge overseeing Garmon’s case decreed on December 16, 2025, that sentencing would be deferred until the state court case concludes. The parties involved must submit a joint status report on or before March 16, 2026, and continue to do so every 90 days, updating the court on the progress of the state proceedings.

Garmon faces charges of first-degree murder for allegedly murdering Streeter alongside Saun Rainge Jr., also charged with first-degree murder, and attempting to disguise the crime as a home invasion. A recently filed motion in Orange County seeks to withdraw counsel, noting that Rainge’s half-brother, Damien Rainge, is a state witness and previously had the same public defender as Garmon.

An April 2025 motion for pretrial detention reveals that Garmon and Saun Rainge were at Damien Rainge’s home on the night Streeter was killed. Surveillance footage captures Saun Rainge boasting about committing murders and declaring, “We up the murder rate!”

Garmon, meanwhile, was described in his federal complaint as allegedly boasting about being a “JackBoii” on Instagram, which prosecutors say is “common street slang used to describe a person who robs people.” His Instagram profile allegedly contained photographs of him wielding multiple firearms.

“He is seen holding pistols with extended magazines, as well as photographs of him wearing a hockey goalkeeper’s mask, squatting in front of a car with a pistol in each hand and an AR-15 style pistol at his feet,” the complaint says. “Additionally, his complexion and physical appearance is similar to the description given by [Streeter’s] 10-year-old son.”

According to the probable cause arrest affidavit for the Streeter murder, deputies with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the Streeter murder on Jan. 13, 2024, when they found the mother dead with 10 gunshot wounds and Saun Rainge shot in his shoulder at her apartment. Saun Rainge allegedly told investigators he was walking inside the apartment to check on Streeter and their three kids — ages 10, 2 and 1 — when someone attacked him from behind. He claimed the “home invader” entered the home and opened fire before running away, according to the affidavit.

Saun Rainge alleged that the man stole $2,000 in cash and three cellphones, according to the affidavit. After the man fled, Saun Rainge told police he waited and then chased after him despite being unarmed. Saun Rainge claimed he chased down the man, who wound up being Garmon, and was able to wrestle away the stolen cellphones, according to the affidavit.

Damien Rainge told investigators that Saun Rainge claimed in conversations with him that “he was drunk” and “some guys rushed him while he going in the house,” according to the affidavit. “He’s losing blood, Porshe losing blood,” Damien Rainge allegedly recalled Saun Rainge telling him.

“He said like it’s a blur or whatever … He’s trying to bandage her and she’s telling him to just bandage yourself,” Damien Rainge allegedly recounted. “He said he passed out. He said when he passed out, he woke up scratching into a body bag … That’s what he told me, that’s what I was told … He said he didn’t even know Porshe was dead.”

In the following months, detectives began to allegedly pick apart Saun Rainge’s story.

People who knew the couple told investigators that the relationship between Saun Rainge and Streeter was “toxic” and they would often break up and get back together again, the affidavit says. They were allegedly fighting on the night in question after Saun Rainge took her phone charger and key to her apartment without permission. While Saun Rainge would sometimes stay the night, cops said he lived elsewhere and Streeter was the only name on the rental lease.

Other facts allegedly did not add up, as well.

A working surveillance camera showed the front door, but it didn’t capture the incident in question, and investigators believe Saun Rainge deleted that footage. Detectives were also curious as to why the “home invader” was so accurate in shots fired toward Streeter but not so precise while shooting at Saun Rainge, the affidavit notes.

It also didn’t make sense as to why Saun Rainge would run after the man who just shot them while not armed himself, per cops.

Detectives also uncovered a brewing custody dispute between Saun Rainge and Streeter and the fact that he had recently learned she had been hiding money from him, according to the affidavit. He was also allegedly upset about her cheating on him and a text message from her in which she called him a “sissy.”

Surveillance cameras from the apartment complex were reviewed by police and revealed how Saun Rainge and Garmon were driving together near Streeter’s home on the morning of the murder. Cops say this was so Rainge could show his co-defendant where Streeter lived.

Video also allegedly showed a man wearing a distinct, brightly colored Ferrari coat fleeing the scene. Garmon posted photos on his Instagram page wearing the exact same coat, according to the affidavit.

Cops believe Saun Rainge used the key he took to get inside the apartment before the shooting, according to the affidavit. He allegedly enlisted Garmon to murder Streeter and they then left the apartment with Streeter likely dead or dying and her children right next to her. The pair then returned to Streeter’s residence so Garmon could shoot Saun Rainge to make it look like a home invasion robbery, according to court documents.

Cops arrested Saun Rainge and Garmon in April 2025. “[Saun] Rainge’s story didn’t ring true for our homicide detectives, who have worked tirelessly on this case for more than a year to secure justice for Porshe,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement after their arrests.
