A dispute between teenagers in Gwinnett County, Georgia, ended with the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Norcross High School student DeAndre Henderson. DeAndre left school during class hours on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, and a short distance from campus on Technology Parkway in Peachtree Corners he was involved in a planned physical fight. According to his mother, Kimberly Parks, the encounter had been set up to fight, and witnesses say the altercation turned deadly when another teen produced a firearm and shot DeAndre.

Gwinnett County police found DeAndre after a person-shot call just after noon; he was taken to a local hospital and died later that day with family at his side. Investigators described the incident as isolated and not on school property. In the days after the shooting authorities identified 18-year-old Brendon Young of Lawrenceville as the suspect; felony murder and aggravated assault charges were filed. Young turned himself in to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in Florida on Sunday, October 30, 2022, and was taken into custody awaiting extradition back to Gwinnett County.

If anyone knew DeAndre, was in the area on October 26, 2022, or has information about the events that led to that confrontation, please come forward.
