Officers arrested Morris later that same day in the 800 block of Glade Court. He was transported to the Central Booking Intake Center and formally charged with first-degree murder and multiple handgun violations.
Henry was rushed to a nearby hospital after the shooting but was pronounced dead by medical personnel. Police have not publicly discussed a motive, nor have they said if the suspect and victim knew each other.
