Terrel Henderson, a 31-year-old Black man from Kansas City, Missouri, was shot and killed after an argument at a Dollar Tree in the 1600 block of East 63rd Street on the evening of September 29, 2020. A dispute inside the store between Henderson and the manager drew in a male employee, and the confrontation moved outside. The employee produced a firearm and shot Henderson. First responders found Henderson with life-threatening gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and died that night.

Kansas City Police detectives processed the scene, interviewed witnesses and the employee who remained at the scene and cooperated. Officers did not make an arrest at the scene, and no charges were immediately filed. Investigators were reviewing surveillance footage and witness statements and were considering whether claims of self-defense applied. Henderson’s sister Lakeisha Ridge spoke publicly about her grief and frustration over the argument that led to his death.
