Shortly after 3:30 a.m. today officers responded to a call of an aggravated battery by shooting inside a residence in the 1300 block of Deslonde. When they arrived officers found a 61-year-old black male who had suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and face. He was transported to the hospital where he died.

Detectives learned that the victim and Henry were guests at the home, having attended a gathering there the night before. The two males were involved in a verbal disagreement when Henry retrieved a firearm and shot the victim multiple times.
