On the night of April 27, 2014, Leroy Henderson, a 30-year-old Black man who had recently moved to Seattle from Gary, Indiana, was walking home in the Skyway neighborhood when residents in the 12200 block of 68th Avenue South heard multiple gunshots around 11:45 p.m. Deputies found Henderson deceased in the street, having been shot multiple times. He had been walking the route between his home and the Skyway Bowl, a routine those who knew him said he frequently followed.

Initial investigation produced no eyewitnesses to the shooting. Ballistics from shell casings at the scene were later matched to other homicides. Surveillance footage showed an SUV pass Henderson, turn around and approach with its lights off just before the shooting; court documents say the vehicle was linked to Ali Muhammad Brown, who admitted firing 10 shots into Henderson’s back and later said the killings were acts of vengeance and jihad against U.S. foreign policy. Brown was arrested in New Jersey and charged in the slayings, and Henderson’s family offered a reward for information that could lead to an arrest.

Does anyone have memories of Henderson in Skyway or information about that night that could help clarify what happened?
