Overview
- Federal agents captured Gregory Henderson Jr. in Mississippi this week after a multi‑year manhunt and have him in federal custody pending transfer to the Southern District of Indiana.
- He faces federal charges that include conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, and conspiracy to engage in an animal fighting venture.
- The arrest came days after the FBI added him to its Ten Most Wanted list and offered up to a $1 million reward for information leading to his capture.
- Investigators link Henderson to a violent Indianapolis neighborhood gang and say a large August 2023 takedown of his network led to seizures of 61 firearms, large quantities of fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine, about $98,000 in cash, and 166 fighting dogs.
- Federal officials credited multiagency cooperation for the arrest and said the case will test prosecutorial evidence connecting local violence and alleged cartel supply lines while offering some closure to victims of the alleged dogfighting and drug crimes.
