Story out of South Bend, Indiana:
A 23-year-old man is accused of beating to death an Afghanistan war veteran for allegedly saying he was in love with the suspect.
Jabreeh Cash Davis-Martin of South Bend has been charged with murder in the death of Jodie Henderson, 27, who served in the Army National Guard.
His cause of death was undetermined for more than a month, but the county coroner ruled in late February that he died primarily of multiple blunt-force and chop injuries. Possible contributing factors also included acute alcohol intoxication and exposure to cold weather.
According to county Prosecutor Ken Cotter, investigators allege that Davis-Martin attacked Henderson after being told by a third person that Henderson said he loved Davis-Martin in a romantic way.
Cotter said that Davis-Martin returned to his home after being informed of the statements by Henderson and struck him with a piece of furniture, believed to be the bar stool. He left, but returned and attacked the stricken Henderson — who was still alive — as he was lying on the ground in a fetal position, according to the affidavit.
Because Indiana does not have a hate crime law, the suspect will not be charged with a hate crime, Cotter said at a news conference Tuesday. Cont.
