Lyric Marie Benson, a talented actress, entered this world on September 20, 1980, in Overland Park, Kansas, USA. Born with a passion for the performing arts, she would go on to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Her notable roles included appearances in Law & Order: Criminal Intent in 2001 and Chappelle's Show in 2003.
Tragically, Lyric's life was cut short on April 25, 2003, when she was senselessly shot in front of her New York apartment by her obsessive ex-fiancé. Despite efforts to save her, she succumbed to her injuries the following day.
In the aftermath of her untimely passing, Lyric's father, Terry, established the non-profit organization "Lyric of Life" with the goal of increasing organ donor awareness, providing support to donor and recipient families, and offering college scholarships to senior theater students. This heartfelt endeavor serves as a lasting tribute to Lyric's memory and a testament to the impact she had on those around her.
