Landon Roberts Henry, 20, was fatally shot on the morning of July 3, 2016, in an apartment on Orchard Road in North Asheville. Born June 29, 1996, in Atlanta and raised in Asheville, he graduated from Asheville High School in 2014, was a four-time varsity letterman and wrestling team captain, and enjoyed lacrosse, Frisbee golf, hiking and time on the French Broad River.

The shooting happened inside the apartment of a former neighbor while Landon was there with his girlfriend, Morgan Mikell. A struggle between Landon and the apartment’s occupant resulted in gunshot wounds to his chest and arm; he was pronounced dead at the scene after frantic 911 calls.

Buncombe County District Attorney Todd Williams declined to press charges, stating the Castle Doctrine applied because the struggle and shooting took place inside the shooter’s home and the use of deadly force was deemed justified. Landon’s death is remembered by family, friends and the Asheville community.
