October 2, 2015

Aki Rashaad Henderson was convicted by an Escambia county jury on September 30 of armed Burglary with a firearm, armed kidnapping with a firearm, aggravated assault with a firearm, and shooting into a building.

On November 3, 2014, the victim was sitting in his vehicle at his residence when Henderson pulled open his car door and hit him in the face with a firearm.  Henderson told the victim to take him inside the house or he would “blow his brains out.”  When Henderson forced the victim into his house at gunpoint, the victim slammed  Henderson’s arm in the door.  At that time, Henderson fired one shot toward the victim and fled the scene. The victim was later able to identify HJenderson in a photo lineup as the suspect.

Circuit Judge Michael Jones scheduled  Henderson to be sentenced on October 14.  Henderson is facing a minimum mandatory sentence of 23 years with the possibility of life in state prison.  Henderson will be required to serve at least 23 years of his prison sentence, day for day, without the possibility of gain time or parole.
