Sanifu Henry, 21, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of March 15, 2024, in the 2600 block of McGuire Drive in Kennesaw, Georgia. Police say Henry, who had moved with his family from California, arrived at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with a gunshot wound and later died. Investigators describe the incident as a botched drug deal and robbery attempt and say it produced the city’s first homicide since 2019.

Two men were arrested within hours: 18-year-old Zier Xzavier Green and 19-year-old Re’Shard Marquis Lee. Arrest warrants allege they intended to sell Henry a mixture of suspected marijuana and non-controlled substances; during the transaction an exchange of gunfire occurred. Both were held without bond at the Cobb County jail and a Cobb County grand jury later indicted each on seven counts, including three counts of felony murder, aggravated assault, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Henry’s mother described him as protective and caring; he graduated from Kell High School and played several sports. Did anyone in the Kennesaw area see activity around McGuire Drive that night or know more about Henry’s movements before the shooting?
