A 46-year-old Ionia man accused of shooting a woman to death just over a year ago has had his request for change of venue denied.
Travis Henderson, is accused of killing 47-year-old Khristy Clark on May 15, 2019.
Henderson, is 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 pleaded not guilty on August 20 of last year and he remains in custody after his motion to grant his release was denied by the court on March 30th.
During a hearing on Tuesday, June 23, the Benton County Prosecutor objected to Henderson’s Motion for a Change of Venue and after the court heard arguments, the motion was denied due to untimeliness and lack of good cause.
Henderson’s cause has been continued for Disposition or Trial Setting at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28 at Benton County Circuit Court.
