Antony D. Henderson was a 19-year-old African American man from Cleveland, Ohio, who died on March 24, 2016. He had been the victim of a violent robbery and assault years earlier: court documents say that on September 1, 2006, Antony and his cousin Gerald Henderson were approached by a group of young men demanding their belongings. When they refused, an assailant struck Antony in the head with a gun, causing serious injuries, and fled with stolen items while bystanders tried to intervene.

The investigation into that attack resulted in the arrest and prosecution of Shawn Collins, who was charged with aggravated robbery and felonious assault, convicted on multiple counts, and sentenced. Antony’s family and community held memorial services to remember him; the case and its outcome were noted for their impact on the victims and those who knew them.
