Anika Marie Henderson was 17 and a senior at Washington High School when she was fatally shot in South Bend, Indiana, on November 8, 2021. She had recently earned a welder certification and was remembered as a beloved daughter and sister who was loyal to her friends and family. The shooting occurred while she was sitting in a car near Randolph Park.

Less than two hours earlier there had been a court hearing involving child custody and separation for Henderson’s boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend, Alexis Willocks. Reports say Henderson and Willocks arranged to meet afterward for a physical fight. Henderson’s boyfriend, who was present, identified Willocks as the person who pulled the trigger. Investigators later described Willocks as armed and dangerous and sought her whereabouts.

What does anyone who was in the Randolph Park area that evening remember about the events leading up to the shooting?
