Paul Eian LaVar Henry, 39, was found dead from a gunshot on the night of July 4, 2017, near John Street in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Pittsfield Police pronounced his death at the scene; the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner was asked to perform an autopsy. His death was recorded as the city’s first homicide of 2017.

Born July 19, 1977, in Lakewood, New Jersey, Henry had attended school in Orlando, Florida, and later lived in Pittsfield. He was married to Brittany Henry and was the father of eight children. The case file notes his interests in cooking and music and that he had publicly accepted the Lord Jesus Christ in May 2017. He was survived by his wife, children, parents, and several siblings.

At the time of the initial reports and in subsequent public searches, no arrests or suspect identifications have been announced. Does anyone have information that could help bring answers in Paul Henry’s case?
