‘The Five’ Gets Emotional As Greg Gutfeld Announces Tragic News

Greg Gutfeld and his Fox News colleagues are mourning the shocking loss of a longtime supporter after a Texas man they had come to know through years of online interactions was brutally stabbed to death in what authorities believe was a random attack.

Andrew James Wimsatt, 62, was killed in broad daylight on Labor Day while sitting near a park bench in Round Rock, Texas.

Police arrested 26-year-old Benedict Ogbodiegwu Jr. and charged him with murder after surveillance footage allegedly captured him approaching Wimsatt from behind and repeatedly stabbing him in the neck, according to authorities.

The horrifying attack unfolded shortly before 11 a.m. near Double File Trail Elementary School.

According to an arrest affidavit, Wimsatt was simply sitting on a bench when the suspect approached him with a knife, wrapped an arm around him and began stabbing.

Wimsatt desperately attempted to fight back, but was unable to escape.

Authorities said the suspect continued attacking him even after Wimsatt fell to the ground before eventually leaving the scene.

A woman discovered Wimsatt suffering from severe neck injuries at approximately 11:15 a.m. and called police.

Investigators then began piecing together surveillance footage that allegedly tracked the suspect’s movements.

Authorities said footage showed him at a nearby McDonald’s wearing different clothing before entering a red SUV registered to his family.

When detectives confronted Ogbodiegwu with a still image from the crime scene, authorities say he initially acknowledged that the person pictured was him before denying that he had been at the park.

He also allegedly told investigators he had a twin — but could not provide police with the twin’s name.

The investigation soon took another disturbing turn.

Detectives searching near Ogbodiegwu’s home discovered a trash bag containing clothing resembling what the suspect was allegedly wearing in the surveillance footage, along with a large knife.

Authorities said the blade tested presumptively positive for blood.

Investigators believe Wimsatt and Ogbodiegwu did not know one another.

The killing, they say, appears to have been random.

Adding another heartbreaking detail to the case, Wimsatt had reportedly just returned from visiting his mother at a nursing home before he was killed.

But this was not simply another crime story for several familiar faces at Fox News.

Wimsatt was an accomplished civil engineer who earned three degrees from the University of Texas at Austin. Away from his professional career, however, he had quietly built relationships with several media personalities by tirelessly clipping, preserving and sharing their television appearances online.

Greg Gutfeld remembered Wimsatt as “supremely gentle, willing to do just about anything for another person.”

Fox News contributor George Timothy Murdoch, better known as Tyrus, remembered him as “always positive … with a monster laugh.”

Kat Timpf offered an equally emotional tribute to the man who had spent years helping others while apparently expecting nothing in return.

“Andrew was a rare person: Genuinely kind just for the sake of it; it quite clearly never occurred to him to expect anything in return.”

Wimsatt reportedly created clips for Timpf’s online community and preserved old television appearances for several commentators without asking to be paid.

Now, the circumstances surrounding his killing are putting renewed attention on the murder suspect’s previous encounters with the criminal justice system.

Ogbodiegwu previously faced a felony theft charge in 2017, but the case was dismissed.

He was arrested again on a theft charge in January 2026. A court ordered a competency evaluation and he was later committed for restoration, according to the report.

That case was also ultimately dismissed.

Then, in May, Ogbodiegwu was arrested yet again, this time accused of giving police false identification.

That charge was dismissed as well.

Now, just months later, Ogbodiegwu faces a murder charge in connection with Wimsatt’s death.

For Gutfeld and the other Fox personalities who had come to know Wimsatt through his years of quiet generosity, his death is far more personal than another headline.

They lost a man they remembered not for seeking attention or recognition, but for constantly giving his time to others.

And after years spent quietly supporting the people he admired, Wimsatt is now being remembered by those same people for the kindness, generosity and unmistakable spirit he left behind.
