Shakier Henderson, a 21-year-old African American man, was found dead on January 4, 2019, on a dirt trail behind the Heritage Park Apartment complex off W.T. Harris Boulevard and Snow Lane in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department received a call around 7:30 a.m. for a welfare check and located Henderson, who was pronounced dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound.

Investigators reported there had been no calls for service from that area the night before. Following a CMPD investigation, 21-year-old Antonio Collins was arrested on January 11, 2019, taken to police headquarters for an interview and charged with Henderson’s murder. The department asked anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.
