On August 25, 2019, a house party in Hobbs, New Mexico ended in a mass shooting that killed three people, including 22-year-old Lamar Lee-Kane Jr of Washington, D.C. Two other victims were 18-year-old Khalil Carter and 24-year-old Kristal Avena, both from Hobbs; four additional people were wounded and survived.

Bishop Henderson III, who had been acting as the party’s DJ, was arrested and charged in connection with the shootings. He initially denied bringing a gun but later admitted he had a 9mm handgun that he said he did not fire and that he took from the party and hid in a safe at his home. Prosecutors relied on that admission and other testimony; the defense pointed to multiple firearms and projectile evidence that did not match Henderson’s gun, expert testimony that more than one gun was involved, and an allegation a detective lied to obtain a confession.

Henderson’s trial began in August 2022 and after about two hours of deliberation the jury found him not guilty on all seven counts on August 24, 2022. If anyone knew Lamar Lee-Kane Jr or was at that party, can you share anything that might help clarify who fired the shots?
