On the evening of November 21, 2022, Henderson was driving a 2003 Ford Explorer through a construction zone on Wayne Ave. He attempted to change lanes and ended up hitting a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox, according to a crash report.

The crash caused the Ford to hit the curb and an RTA pole.

Henderson allegedly left the scene before emergency services arrived.

Two passengers in the Ford with Henderson were taken to Miami Valley Hospital from the scene. One of them, 46-year-old Andre Young, of Dayton, died the next day, according to a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
