On Thursday, Atlanta Det. O’Hare, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service, caught and arrested Robert Henderson,47.
Henderson’s original charge stems from a vehicular homicide that occurred on May 7, 2019, at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Adamsville Place Parkway in southwest Atlanta.
According to investigators, Henderson allegedly hit an emergency medical unit that was actively transporting a patient. The crash resulted in the death of the patient inside the ambulance, while medical personnel suffered serious injuries. Authorities say Henderson left the scene before officers arrived.
