He was quiet," said Henderson's friend, Ruby Matthews.Homicide detectives continue to investigate the shooting. They have not released the circumstances of the shooting or named any suspects.However, several people at the apartment complex told Channel 4 the incident might have started because of an offensive tattoo worn by the victim."He's a good kid.
