Former Child-Actor Mark Everett Killed by Los Angeles Police in Standoff

Mark Everett, real name Manuel Benitez, a former child-actor who appeared in shows like “Highway to Heaven,” “Trapper John M.D.,” and “Galactica 1980,” was shot and killed by Los Angeles police after a two-hour standoff in which he was holding his 7-year-old son hostage.

Everett had been sought by police since 2004 when his girlfriend, Stephanie Spears, was beaten to death with a dumbbell.

The 38-year-old Everett had been profiled on “America’s Most Wanted” in connection to Spears murder but remained undetected by authorities.

On Tuesday night he was found with his son inside a Chinese restaurant in El Monte, just east of LA, at which time he took his son to a back room where he held him hostage during the standoff. Everett was aid to have two handguns and exchanged fire with police before eventually being shot dead.

Everett’s son suffered a gunshot wound to the thigh in the exchange but is expected to recover.
