On the night of October 12, 2007, 29-year-old Leeroy Henderson was fatally shot in the Colina Del Sol neighborhood of San Diego. Patrol officers heard gunfire near 4800 El Cajon Boulevard around 11:18 p.m. and found Henderson lying beside his vehicle in the east alley of the 4300 block of 48th Street; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Henderson had stopped to visit an apartment in the 4800 block of Trojan Avenue while companions waited in a vehicle parked in the alley. A white vehicle passed the area twice and then returned; two people got out and one fired multiple rounds, killing Henderson. The motive is unknown. He was born October 15, 1977, in Little Rock, Arkansas, worked as a janitor, and is survived by daughters Capresha and Marquesha Henderson, sons Mark Henderson Jr. and DeVonte Henderson, mother Geneva Glasco, sisters Janet Nichols and Sharon Oliver, and brothers Otis Howard and Michael Nichols.

No arrests or suspect identifications have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 580-TIPS.
