A dispute over loud music in a Gresham, Oregon, apartment complex parking lot turned fatal in the early hours of December 10, 2024. Seventy-year-old Susan Henson went outside to confront a man and a woman about the volume coming from their vehicle. An argument followed and, according to court documents, Henson reportedly knocked take-out food from their hands.

Henson’s boyfriend intervened and used pepper spray on the man. The man, identified as 26-year-old Kuian Kellum, fired three shots; one struck Henson in the head. She was taken to a local trauma center but succumbed to her injuries. Kellum was arrested at the scene and initially charged with attempted murder and first-degree assault; authorities said additional charges were likely after Henson’s death. Her family said she had long complained about loud music from the same individual and described the shooting as senseless. Henson’s family donated her organs, which saved three lives.
