Adrian Henderson, 41, was killed in Greenwood, Mississippi, in December 2022. Deputies from the Leflore County Sheriff’s Department responded to reports of shots fired on Payton Avenue on a Saturday afternoon and found Henderson with multiple gunshot wounds. He was alive when first contacted by responding deputies but died at the scene.

A 15-year-old, identified as Vernon E. Mays, was arrested shortly after the shooting and charged with murder. Investigators said the weapon used was a pistol and that Mays is the son of the woman Henderson was dating. The motive has not been released and remains under investigation. Mays was held at the Leflore County Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information about the relationship between Henderson and the arrested teen is asked to come forward.
