On Dec. 17, a judge placed a murder defendant on personal recognizance.
Antwain Henderson
Anthony Campbell is charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business and tampering with evidence for allegedly shooting Antwain Henderson in 2011.
In January, Campbell was released to a halfway house after spending five years in jail because the prosecution failed to disclose critical information to the defense. The defense filed a motion to dismiss in October.
According to DC Courts, the case is scheduled for a hearing to rule on the defense’s motion on Feb. 1, 2019.
According to police documents, Henderson and Campbell got into an argument when Campbell shot Henderson in the head and got help from two others to bring him inside. Apparently, they cleaned up any traces of blood and placed Henderson inside the trunk of his own vehicle. The vehicle was set on fire on Aug. 31, 2011.
On March 22, 2019, a judge dismissed Campbell’s case with prejudice due to an evidence violation by the prosecution. Campbell was charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business and tampering with evidence for allegedly shooting Antwain Henderson in 2011.
