Seagoville, TX — Heartbreak and shock ripple through the Seagoville community as authorities have identified 19-year-old Kaisan Henderson as the victim of a fatal shooting that occurred on the morning of April 27, 2025. What began as a seemingly quiet day was shattered by violence around 11:29 a.m. near the intersection of Fountain Drive and Canterbury Drive in the Seagoville Farms subdivision.
Emergency responders were dispatched after receiving reports of multiple gunshots fired. Seagoville Police Officers, Fire Department personnel, and Care Flite EMS medics rushed to the scene where they found Henderson lying on the sidewalk with severe gunshot wounds, most notably to his chest. Despite immediate life-saving efforts at the scene and rapid transportation to a nearby hospital, Henderson sadly succumbed to his injuries, leaving family, friends, and neighbors devastated.
According to preliminary investigations, Henderson was walking on the sidewalk in the 2000 block of Canterbury Drive when a black sedan approached. The driver reportedly turned onto Fountain Drive and stopped abruptly in the middle of the roadway. Eyewitnesses and security footage indicate that the driver exited the vehicle armed with a rifle and began opening fire on Henderson. In a desperate attempt to defend himself, Henderson returned fire but was struck multiple times as he tried to flee.
Seagoville police quickly responded and apprehended the suspected shooter, identified as 51-year-old Larry Robertson, a resident of Seagoville. Authorities confirmed that Robertson was found in possession of a loaded rifle at the time of his arrest. He has been formally charged with Murder and is currently being held at the Seagoville Holding Facility as investigations into the incident continue.
The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and authorities are working diligently to piece together the circumstances that led to the tragic encounter. Investigators are combing through surveillance footage from the area and interviewing witnesses in hopes of gaining further insight into the events that preceded the violence.
