Horace Whitley was 39 when he was fatally shot on November 21, 2017, in an apartment at the James Cayce Homes public housing development in Nashville. His body was later found in a wooded area near the Martha O’Bryan Center in the same neighborhood, and his death was investigated as a homicide.

Investigators identified two people in connection with the killing: Shanon Pleasant, described as the alleged shooter, and Anassadi M. Henderson, then 23, who was accused of helping move Whitley’s body from the apartment to the woods. Within a week of the discovery, Metro Nashville Police arrested Henderson and charged him with criminal homicide; his charge was later amended to accessory after the fact. Information about any conviction or sentence for Pleasant is not provided.
