A Las Vegas man allegedly murdered his new girlfriend — shooting her four times in the back of her head — after telling her mom the night before she was found dead that he’d “get her home safe” and “take care of her” following a family holiday party, the mother says. It was the last time that Tracy Coleman saw her daughter, Renise “NeNe” Wolfe, alive.

“Please get my daughter home safe,” Coleman recalled telling Wolfe’s boyfriend, Markeem Benson, in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal this week. “I’ll get her home safe,” Benson allegedly replied as he walked Coleman to her car on Saturday night.

“I’ll take care of her, I promise.”

Benson, 29, is accused of killing Wolfe just days before Christmas at her apartment in the 100 block of East Rome Boulevard near Centennial Parkway. Benson’s father allegedly called North Las Vegas Police and told them Benson wanted to turn himself in for the fatal shooting after Wolfe, 33, was found dead on Sunday morning. Benson, who was on probation for an attempted robbery conviction, was taken into custody Thursday and arraigned on murder and weapons charges.
