Antwon Deshawn Herring, 23, was killed after a dispute at a neighborhood block party on Mariva Street in Pontiac on July 25, 2026. He and his fiancée, Adrianna Brown, were selling baked goods at the event to help Brown’s cousin after the cousin’s car was repossessed. Family members described Herring as devoted to his young children, expecting a third, and active in football and coaching.

The confrontation ended in gunfire; deputies found Herring on the ground with a gunshot wound to the head, and family reports say he was struck twice, in the chest and the neck. Herring was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Henderson reportedly identified himself to deputies as the shooter and was taken into custody at the scene, with a handgun recovered. He was arraigned on July 29, 2026, on second-degree murder and felony firearm charges and denied bond. The community is left with a young family shattered by a violent escalation at a family gathering.
