CORRECTION: The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office has provided a clarification that Mr. Young has not yet been apprehended. His whereabouts are unknown at this time.
UPDATE: The Gwinnett Police Department has charged Brendon Young (18-year-old male, from Lawrenceville, Ga) with Felony Murder and Aggravated Assault in connection with DeAndre Henderson’s homicide.
ORIGINAL: The Gwinnett Police Department is investigating a shooting that left DeAndre Henderson (17-year-old male, Norcross) deceased.
Shortly after 12:06 P.M., officers responded to a “person shot call” on Technology Parkway in Peachtree Corners. Upon arrival, officers located Henderson with a gunshot wound and attempted to render aid. Henderson was transported to a local hospital by Gwinnett Emergency Services, where he later died.
