Trevell Lamar Henley, a middle school student, was last seen by his younger brother walking to a friend’s house on July 2, 1999. Trevell was last seen alive at that point. Police subsequently find evidence of a homicide, but Trevell has never been located, and no one has been charged with the crime. Trevell was last observed in Columbus, Ohio. At the time, he was strolling towards the home of his 19-year-old friend, Dalin Green. Green lived on Republic Avenue in the 1200 block. There has never been another word about Trevell. On July 3, his grandma filed a missing person’s report.
Investigators examined Green’s residence after Trevell vanished and discovered a plethora of evidence indicative of a homicide, including clothing, handguns, wasted bullets, shell casings, bloodstains, and Trevell’s personal identity. A section of the carpet in the living room had been cut away.
According to police records, Trevell expressed desire in joining the Bloodstone Villains, a group that Green belonged to. Trevell might have received a brutal beating as part of the gang’s initiation ceremony. Green has a criminal history, primarily involving violent crimes.
Trevell’s grandmother reported to the police on June 28, a few days before he vanished, that her grandson had been shot in the hand by an unidentified assailant while strolling close to his residence. She then proceeded to Green’s house to seek help. Green dropped Trevell off at the hospital with his grandmother, drove him there, and waited for Trevell’s wounds to be bandaged and stabilised.
Trevell is said to have told his grandmother at some point subsequently that he had shot himself at Green’s house rather than being attacked. It’s unclear if Trevell’s subsequent absence has anything to do with the gunshot event. Green is the main suspect in Trevell’s death, according to the authorities, but he hasn’t been charged in connection with it. At the time of his abduction, Trevell lived in Columbus in the 1300 block of Republic Avenue; his younger brother and grandmother had reared him since they were infants. At the time of his disappearance, he was a Medina Middle School student who enjoyed athletics and reading.
Tywan Lamont Saunders, Trevell’s younger brother, was shot and killed in October 2009 at the age of 22. In August 2010, over a year after the murder, Lashawn L. Hargrove was charged with the crime. In 2011, he acknowledged that he had shot Saunders during a fight and entered a guilty plea to involuntary manslaughter. He received a thirteen-year prison sentence.
Trevell’s case is still open, and his remains have not been located.
