Edward Henry

How they died

Suicide

Officer Anthony Dia was responding to a call for a man causing a disturbance during a gathering of car lovers at the Home Depot on Alexis Road. Dia encountered Edward Henry holding a beer. Henry walked away from the officer, then hid behind a plant and shot the officer with a handgun. Dia was able to return fire but later died from his injury. Henry fled into the nearby woods. The police put up a drone and deployed a dog. Shortly after 3 a.m., a gunshot was heard and, police said, Henry was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.
