Sixteen-year-old Trelynn Derrion Henderson was fatally shot on the evening of March 1, 2024, in Dallas. Police were called about 8:50 p.m. to the 3300 block of Southern Oaks Boulevard, near East Illinois Avenue; officers found Henderson with gunshot wounds and he was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Residents of the Signature at Southern Oaks Boulevard apartments reported hearing an argument followed by multiple gunshots, and some have expressed alarm that Henderson was the second child killed at the complex within a year. A separate fatal shooting occurred a few hours later, about blocks away, but authorities say the two incidents are not believed to be related. The Dallas Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact Detective Timothy Johnston at 214-671-3523 or [email protected].
