Derrick Jamal Kitchens, 31, a Black man from Tennille, was shot outside a home at 513 Carver Street in Sandersville, Georgia, on the morning of September 6, 2015. Investigators say he became involved in an altercation with another man that ended with Kitchens being shot. He was taken to a hospital but died later that morning, and the incident was treated as a homicide.

The Sandersville Police Department requested assistance from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and by later that same day authorities identified and arrested 27-year-old Quintarus Henderson of Sandersville. Henderson was charged with one count of murder, with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles officers also involved in the response.

The case record emphasizes how quickly the situation escalated from a neighborhood dispute to a fatal shooting and an arrest. If anyone witnessed the altercation at 513 Carver Street or has information about the events that morning, please come forward.
