Thomas Henson, a 63-year-old man from Columbus, OH, tragically died on September 20, 2014, from a gunshot wound to the upper body. He was found inside his vehicle in the parking lot of 2910 Lockbourne Road early in the morning. The incident occurred around 4:00 a.m., and Henson was discovered suffering from his injuries.
The investigation into Henson's death led to the arrest of a 19-year-old man named Carl M. Quiller, Jr.
Quiller was charged with murder for allegedly shooting Henson in the parking lot. The case went to court, and Quiller faced multiple charges, including two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and other related charges.
During the trial, it was revealed that Henson was sleeping in the bed of his pickup truck when he was shot. The shooter, Quiller, was seen by witnesses holding a large flashlight, which obscured his face. After firing multiple shots, Quiller walked away from the scene.
The court found Quiller guilty on multiple counts, and he was sentenced to life incarceration with the possibility of parole after 31 years. The trial concluded with the jury's verdicts not being against the manifest weight of the evidence.
This tragic event shook the community, and the legal proceedings brought some measure of justice for Thomas Henson and his family.
