Biography[]
Past[]
Little is known about Benito Gomez's life before released from prison, but at some point he was in an amateur boxing league but was kicked out of it for unknown reasons, possibly severely hurting an opponent and not stopping his assault on them.
Angered at losing the opportunity to possibly going professional some day, Benito Gomez beat his unnamed girlfriend so badly, that when her body was found her dentist had trouble identifying her at first. He was then sentenced to five years in prison, which he served.
Once he was released however, he got into a fight with an unnamed father and husband and beat him so viciously, the man's cheek bone was pushed upwards with enough force to pop one of his eyeballs out of its socket.
Living The Dream[]
After Benito is arrested by Joey Quinn for the father's murder, a tired Dexter Morgan accidentally brings the wrong evidence to court and the judge is forced to declare Benito Gomez "not guilty".
To make up for his mistake to the man's wife and children, Dexter tracks Benito down to his home and sedates him, then sets up a kill room in an abandoned boxing ring. Before Dexter is able to give Benito his usual kill ritual, Dexter's wife Rita calls about Dexter's son Harrison, forcing him to quickly kill Benito by stabbing him in the heart with a knife and temporarily stuff his body inside of a punching bag.
Death[]
After getting into a car crash, Dexter briefly forgets what he did the night before and spends the day wondering where Benito's body was, but soon remembers that the punching bag was suspended above the boxing ring where no one would see it. Dexter then finally got back to the ring and dumped the body into the ocean like all of his other victims.
