He’s accused of killing Laticha Bracero and Alyssa Cordova, a mother and daughter who were walking home from a Drake concert.
Henderson, who has no prior felonies, was released on February 24 and issued the following statement via his legal representation regarding the incident: “This is a very tragic accident, Monte is very upstanding young man; involved in academics and sports.”
