Former Transportation Security Administration manager at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) charged with murder in Mississippi.

A top federal Transportation Security Administration official who until 2008 worked at O’Hare Airport is being held in a Mississippi jail, accused of murdering a co-worker.

Ruben Orlando Benitez — whose family still lives in Chicago — is charged with the murder of TSA worker Stacey Wright, 43.

Mississippi authorities allege the 45-year-old stabbed Wright to death at her home in D’Iberville.

He began as a screener at O’Hare but was promoted to transportation security manager before he was transferred to Jackson, Miss., where he was assistant federal security director, according to the TSA.

Benitez had worked with Wright at Jackson Airport and had a relationship with her, D’Iberville Police spokesman Clay Jones said.
