Solomon Henderson was 17 when he was found fatally shot in Louisville, Kentucky, on the afternoon of March 7, 2020. First responders arrived about 3:30 p.m. and discovered him in an alley in the 4000 block of West Broadway in the Shawnee neighborhood; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office later confirmed his identity and cause of death as gunshot wounds.

Louisville Metro Police Homicide investigators determined the shooting did not occur where Henderson’s body was found and launched a search for the primary crime scene. In the months after the killing, Henderson’s mother, Contessa Griffey, said the person responsible was another juvenile and that Solomon had previously shared a room with the alleged shooter at the Jefferson County Youth Detention Center. Griffey also said a photo Solomon posted on Instagram showing a large sum of cash may have motivated the attack. The family was unable to be with Solomon in his final moments at the hospital.

Did anyone in Shawnee or the Louisville juvenile detention system see Solomon in the days before March 7, 2020, or have information about the alleged assailant?
