Ol-Leir Hyland Henry, also identified in some records as Ollier or Olleir Henry, was a 17-year-old Black male from Wilmington, Delaware, whose life ended in a burst of gunfire on September 8, 2020. Around 7:00 p.m., he was walking along North Pine Street with Taquan “Tink” Davis, Antionajsa Williams, and another woman after leaving a memorial service. A vehicle with tinted windows pulled up beside the group, and two masked men opened fire.
The people on the sidewalk scattered, but Henry was struck several times. Williams was grazed by a bullet, while Davis and the other woman escaped without being hit.
Police and court records later placed the shooting in the 500 block of Pine Street. Investigators recovered shell casings and a projectile from the scene, and the attack was captured on surveillance video. What first appeared to be another sudden shooting in Wilmington was later described by prosecutors as one piece of a much larger and violent feud involving NorthPak and the M-Block Grimy Savages, also known as MGS. Henry and Davis were described in court records as MGS members or associates, and NorthPak members were accused of looking for rivals and rival associates as part of an escalating campaign of retaliation.
The investigation grew beyond Henry’s killing. Authorities said NorthPak was connected to a string of murders and attempted murders in Wilmington between 2018 and 2021, including the deaths of Stephan Price, Taron Whaley, Henry, Taquan Davis, Shareef Hamilton, and Dakevis Reed. In June 2021, Delaware prosecutors announced a sweeping indictment charging 14 alleged NorthPak members with more than 120 offenses. The charges included murder, attempted murder, conspiracy, illegal gang participation, and firearm offenses. Henry’s death was specifically tied to defendants Elijah Coffield and Gregory Wing.
Court filings and later appellate records described Wing and Coffield as leaders and shooters for NorthPak. Prosecutors said NorthPak had gone “on offense” against MGS after the deaths of NorthPak members and associates, including Rajion Dinkins and Christian Coffield, Elijah Coffield’s brother. Investigators used social media activity, witness testimony, ballistics, cell tower evidence, seized phones, and other records to build the case. One NorthPak member, Stanley Jones, testified that Wing, Coffield, and he took part in the Pine Street shooting. According to the prosecution’s account, Wing was driving a Nissan Altima during the attack.
The case went to trial against Wing and Coffield in Delaware Superior Court. The trial lasted 14 days and included more than 50 witnesses and hundreds of exhibits. In March 2023, a New Castle County jury found both men guilty in connection with Henry’s murder. Coffield was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for the killings of Henry and Shareef Hamilton, along with attempted murder, conspiracy, reckless endangering, illegal gang participation, and multiple firearm charges. Wing was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for the killings of Henry and Taquan Davis, as well as attempted murder, conspiracy, illegal gang participation, and firearm offenses.
The convictions turned Henry’s case from an open homicide into part of a broader legal reckoning over Wilmington gang violence. Wing and Coffield were later sentenced to life in prison, with additional prison time tied to the other shootings and firearm convictions. Wing appealed, but the Delaware Supreme Court upheld his convictions in 2024, leaving in place the jury’s finding that Henry’s death was one of the murders committed during the NorthPak feud.
