SHREVEPORT, La — A Shreveport woman who shot her husband and then doused his body with gasoline was found guilty of the murder Wednesday, June 26, 2024, in Caddo District Court.

It took a six-man, six-woman jury in District Judge John D. Mosely Jr.’s court less than two hours to find Charlene Henderson, 45, guilty of the May 16, 2022 second-degree murder of Larry Clark, also 45.

Charlene Henderson, 45

She also was found guilty of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in connection with a 2004 manslaughter conviction that prohibits her from owning or possessing a firearm until 2029.

Through evidence and testimony, jurors learned that in the early morning hours of May 16, 2022, Charlene Henderson shot and killed her husband.

After killing Mr. Clark, Henderson covered his body with carpet and texted a cellphone photo of his body to a family member. Then 25 minutes later, she called 911 to report the slaying.

When officers arrived on scene they noted an overwhelming smell of gasoline in the residence.

Crime scene photos showed ashes covering Larry Clark’s body under the carpet. The jury also was able to view the photo Henderson took of Clark’s body, which showed no gun nearby, and to compare with police crime-scene photos that show a gun placed against his head.

Henderson testified in her own defense, and reported for the first time being scared for her life when she shot Clark. 

When Henderson returns to Judge Mosley’s court July 16, 2024, she faces a mandatory life sentence for the murder conviction and five to 20 years at hard labor without the benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence for the firearm conviction.

Henderson was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Courtney N. Ray and Jasmine C. Cooper. She was defended by Casey Simpson, Harry Johnson and Hilary Hileman.

The case was docket No. 389211. 

SPANISH:

Henderson culpable del asesinato de su esposo

Una mujer de Shreveport que disparó a su esposo y luego roció su cuerpo con gasolina fue declarada culpable del asesinato el miércoles 26 de junio de 2024 en el Tribunal de Distrito de Caddo.

Un jurado compuesto por seis hombres y seis mujeres en el tribunal del Juez de Distrito John D. Mosely Jr. tardó menos de dos horas en declarar a Charlene Henderson, de 45 años, culpable del asesinato en segundo grado de Larry Clark, también de 45 años, ocurrido el 16 de mayo de 2022. También fue declarada culpable de posesión de un arma de fuego por un delincuente convicto en relación con una condena por homicidio involuntario en 2004 que le prohíbe poseer o tener un arma de fuego hasta 2029.

A través de pruebas y testimonios, los jurados se enteraron de que en las primeras horas de la mañana del 16 de mayo de 2022, Charlene Henderson disparó y mató a su esposo. Después de matar al Sr. Clark, Henderson cubrió su cuerpo con una alfombra y envió una foto del cadáver por mensaje de texto a un miembro de la familia. Luego, 25 minutos después, llamó al 911 para reportar el asesinato.

Cuando los oficiales llegaron a la escena, notaron un abrumador olor a gasolina en la residencia. Las fotos de la escena del crimen mostraron cenizas cubriendo el cuerpo de Larry Clark bajo la alfombra. El jurado también pudo ver la foto que Henderson tomó del cuerpo de Clark, que no mostraba ninguna pistola cerca, y compararla con las fotos de la escena del crimen de la policía que mostraban una pistola colocada contra su cabeza.

Henderson testificó en su propia defensa y reportó por primera vez que estaba asustada por su vida cuando disparó a Clark.

Cuando Henderson regrese al tribunal del juez Mosley el 16 de julio de 2024, enfrentará una sentencia de cadena perpetua obligatoria por la condena por asesinato y de cinco a 20 años de trabajos forzados sin el beneficio de libertad condicional, libertad anticipada o suspensión de la sentencia por la condena de posesión de armas de fuego.

Henderson fue procesada por los fiscales adjuntos Courtney N. Ray y Jasmine C. Cooper. Fue defendida por Casey Simpson, Harry Johnson y Hilary Hileman.

El caso fue el número de expediente 389211.
