The murder trial of a former U.S. Army servicemember accused of fatally shooting his wife at her birthday party ended with a manslaughter conviction, triggering an emotional outcry from the victim’s family members in court.
A Kentucky jury found 34-year-old Jordan Mykol Henning guilty of first-degree felony manslaughter for the shooting death of his wife, 32-year-old Ashley Henning.
Jordan shot his wife multiple times during her birthday party at the couple’s home on June 26, 2023, the News-Enterprise reported.
Witnesses told investigators that right before the shooting, they started leaving the party because the couple began to argue. Neighbors even removed the Hennings’ children from the home as the fight intensified.
Multiple surveillance cameras from inside the home caught the fatal encounter. One camera recorded Jordan appearing enraged when he grabbed his handgun, went behind a living room wall, and started shooting.
Footage also showed him reloading his firearm once between shots, then spitting on Ashley’s corpse when he was finished. Prosecutors say he shot Ashley five times.
