Henry John Ford, 38, was fatally shot outside the Hoyt Library on Janes Avenue in Saginaw, Michigan, on the evening of Tuesday, September 10, 2024. He was at his post as a security guard around 5:40 p.m. when he was shot multiple times in the library parking lot. First responders took him to a local hospital where he later died.

Investigators determined the shooting was not random. Surveillance video captured the incident and identified the suspect as Derrick Grant, Henry’s 38-year-old brother-in-law. Grant was apprehended shortly after the shooting and arraigned on September 13, 2024, on open murder, felonious assault, and felony firearm charges; he pleaded not guilty and was held without bond.

Henry was remembered as a funny, loving, and kind lifelong Saginaw resident who had been married to Sherika for 18 years and was devoted to his three children, Henry III, Nathan, and Maryah. Does anyone who knew Henry or was in the area that evening have information that might help clarify what led to the dispute?
