Investigators claim Henderson shot his son during an argument. While being interviewed for this shooting, Henderson allegedly admitted to shooting his son in the leg in 2022, though he was never charged in that incident. Henderson claimed the fatal shooting had been an accident.
The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office charged Henderson with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Henderson was ordered to remain jailed until trial. He’s due in court later this week for a hearing.
