Raleigh Butch Henderson, 33, was fatally shot on April 22, 1973, in Los Angeles during a mass shooting carried out by William Ray Bonner. Henderson was killed at a gas station and counted among seven people murdered that day; nine others were wounded. The rampage began after Bonner argued with a family friend, Otha Leavitt, whom Bonner shot at the friend’s home before moving through the South Side area and opening fire at multiple locations.

Bonner, then 25, was wounded in a shootout with police and taken into custody. He later pleaded guilty to multiple counts including first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and assault with a deadly weapon and received a life sentence. Reports note Bonner had prior arrests for narcotics, assault, and grand theft auto; his father said Bonner had been threatened by a Mafia gang in the days before the killings. Does anyone have memories of Henderson or the gas station where he was shot?
