Mayport man may have been killed over swastika tattoo
Last Update: 5/12/2006 9:41:42 PM

Police are investigating the death of a 19-year-old Mayport man, who may have been killed over his swastika tattoo.

Chad Henderson was killed at the Mayport Trace Apartment complex Thursday night.

Two witnesses say a group of young people were hanging out at the complex that evening when a black teen suspect exchanged heated words with Henderson. The suspect then pulled out a gun and shot him.

Henderson was 19 years old.

One witness says she heard the suspect tell Henderson, “You know I play with guns,” and Henderson reply, “You’re talking to me?” That’s when the witness says Henderson was shot.

Police are still gathering information on the suspect. Witnesses told police they only know him by his nickname and that he us about 17 years old.
Actually, the full name of the person who committed the murder is known (his name is Benjamin) and he is 24. He is the boyfriend of Chloe's best friend. Chloe was sitting next to the white boy who was shot. He fell over on her. Because there was pot on the coffee table, she grabbed her girlfriend and they ran. Everyone else ran too.

The cops found a paper in the garbage can with her name on it. It was the 'stencil' used for her tattoo. They asked around and the kids in the neighborhood thought it was the girl who sang at the football games. They went to the school and found her. She was their first eye witness and did give them all the information.

Her friend, who is in love with this thug, screamed and hollered so bad until they had to haul her off in a holding cell. They did send Chloe in to calm her down. Ofcourse the conversation was recorded. At that time her girlfriend told her that Boo (Benjamin) had said he should've shot all the white people in the room because one of them would end up talking. The investigators have this on film.

Benjamin is one of the new gangs who came to Jacksonville with the Katrina rejects. Now you know why I wish they would've left them on the bridge.

Chloe is spastic and scared he or his friends will kill her. We do have extra cars patrolling the house tonight. I will keep her home from school tomorrow in hopes they find the little b*stard. He's been in prison twice so it's a possibility it will be considered a capitol offense with a possible death penalty. This is also tough for Chloe because she knows him and her girlfriend loves him. It's emotional turmoil all the way around for her.

I'll take her tomorrow to have her checked for any problems due to the tattoo that wasn't done in a real parlor and may have been done with a dirty needle. Here's the clincher....she said now she is stuck with a tattoo all of her life that will only remind her of this terrible thing she saw and having a young dead bloody guy fall on her.

Thank you all for your kind words. I so appreciate it.

Meanon...could you send her an email to my address so I can print it and give it to her tomorrow to read in her room? It would mean so much to her to get some words from you since she loves you. SHe is eat up with guilt. Maybe I'll have her call you over the weekend when you have some free time.
