On the evening of June 7, 2022, 23-year-old Kevyn Henderson was shot and killed outside the McDonald’s at 1420 Hampton Avenue in the Cheltenham neighborhood of St. Louis. Henderson had been working a shift at the restaurant when an interpersonal dispute with a colleague, 19-year-old Terrence King, erupted inside. The manager escorted King out, but King reportedly remained nearby and waited for Henderson to leave.

When Henderson walked out of the building, the confrontation resumed and police reports say King fired multiple shots, striking Henderson in the chest. First responders found Henderson unconscious and not breathing; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers located King at the scene standing near the victim with a firearm and took him into custody without incident.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department investigated the shooting as a homicide. Prosecutors charged Terrence King with first-degree murder and armed criminal action; he was held without bail and pleaded not guilty at an early court hearing. Does anyone have information about that evening or knew Kevyn at work who could help clarify what led to this deadly escalation?
