La’Ron Henderson, a 15-year-old student at Forest Park High School, was fatally shot in an alley on January 25, 2023, in the 4300 block of Liberty Heights Avenue in Baltimore. The shooting happened in the afternoon, less than an hour after classes were dismissed. Family members described La’Ron as a six feet tall gentle giant and a gentle kid.

The family learned of his death through social media posts rather than through official notification from the school or police and searched hospitals and the medical examiner’s office seeking answers. The Baltimore Police Department confirmed the shooting was gun violence and announced an $8,000 reward for information.

If anyone saw La’Ron that afternoon, was in the area of Liberty Heights Avenue, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward and share what you know.
