FBI agents raided the homes of two prominent South Florida dog fighters on Tuesday, finding over 40 caged dogs, many of them wounded, according to federal complaints. Alex Eugene Benefield, of Deerfield Beach, is now facing charges of conspiracy and running an animal fighting venture, while Tramaine Marvin Randall, of Pompano Beach, is charged with running an animal fighting venture, court records show. To investigate the two men and the dog fighting underworld, the FBI used an anonymous source who has known them both for many years and was previously a dog fighter who worked with Randall beginning more than a decade ago, the complaints said. The FBI source secretly recorded conversations with both Benefield and Randall as early as February 2023, according to the complaints.
