Police Arrest Teen in Grant Park Bar Murder

By Odette Yousef

Atlanta, GA – Atlanta police have arrested a teenage male and charged him with the January murder of bartender John Henderson. Henderson was shot, even though he complied with robbers' demands when they broke into the Standard Food and Spirits in Grant Park.

WABE's Odette Yousef has more.

17-year old Jonathan Redding was arrested on April 10th in connection with a home invasion, during which he was shot. Ballistic evidence tied his weapon to Henderson's murder, which galvanized in-town Atlantans against violent crime.

But Lieutenant Keith Meadows of the Atlanta Police Department says there's still a ways to go:

MEADOWS: Right now, we're looking for, we believe, at least 3 more people involved in this incident. Up until this point we've had at least 2 interviews with Mr. Redding. He hasn't been exactly forthcoming at this point, but we have gotten some additional information that we could possibly follow up on.

Police are asking anyone who may have information about the crime to call Crimestoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS.
