UPDATE @ 12:08 p.m.: Willie James Henry Jr., in custody stemming from the double shooting that has left one dead and one wounded, was being sought on an arrest warrant, according to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court records.
The warrant, for a probation violation, reportedly was issued May 22.

Henry had been found to have violated his probation previously but was not given additional sanctions by Common Pleas Judge Steven Dankof.
In November 2016, Henry’s supervision was dropped from intensive to basic because he had made “positive strides in working toward the completion of his sanctions of supervision,” according to court documents.
