At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, Grapevine police officers were dispatched to the parking garage of the Jefferson Silverlake Apartments located at 1775 N. SH-26. A witness reported seeing a man trying to get into multiple unattended vehicles.
As officers confronted the suspect, the man got back into his car, while trying to flee, and crashed into an occupied, marked patrol vehicle, a parked car, then drove directly towards two officers. Fearing for their lives, one officer fired their weapon to stop the threat. The suspect vehicle then crashed into a transformer, which caught fire.
The suspect ran away from the car, and officers immediately chased after him towards Bass Pro Court. The man was caught at Cowboys Golf Course approximately 15 minutes later. He was taken to the hospital for minor injuries, then transported to jail.
23-year-old Keyvionte Henderson of Dallas now faces charges for: aggravated assault against a public servant, evading arrest/detention, evading arrest/detention with a vehicle, duty on striking unattended vehicle, and accident involving damage to a vehicle.
The officer who fired their duty weapon was not injured and is on standard administrative leave, with pay, pending the outcome of a full investigation. The Texas Rangers have been called to investigate the case.
