An Ionia man who is accused of shooting a woman to death earlier this year has a court date this week.
According to a news release, on May 15, authorities responded to a residence in Ionia, where a woman said 45-year-old Travis Henderson was pointing a shotgun at her. When authorities arrived, 47-year-old Khristy Clark was found deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. Henderson reportedly fled the scene and was taken into custody after a short standoff with law enforcement on May 16.
Online court documents say Henderson has been charged with a Class A Felony for First-Degree Murder and an Unclassified Felony for Armed Criminal Action. The judge has ordered no bond.
Henderson, who pleaded not guilty on August 20, is scheduled to appear for a hearing at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12, at Benton County Circuit Court.
