On November 19, 2023, 42-year-old Kandi RoyAnn Henderson was shot and killed in the parking lot of a shopping center in northeast Columbus, Ohio, near the Dollar Tree where she worked. She was taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital and pronounced dead at 6:46 p.m.

Authorities identified 60-year-old Stephan Turner as the suspect. Turner, described as a former romantic partner of Henderson, was found at his Gahanna residence; after a brief standoff with SWAT he surrendered and was taken into custody. He was charged with murder, held on $1 million bond, and a Franklin County grand jury later indicted him on multiple counts including aggravated murder, two counts of murder, and tampering with evidence. His arraignment was scheduled for December 1, 2023.

Henderson’s death was recorded as the 23rd domestic violence-related fatality in Columbus that year. Friends remembered her as kind and generous, and a GoFundMe was started to help with funeral costs. Does anyone who knew Kandi or who was in that shopping center on November 19 have information that could help investigators?
