Jury deliberating Henderson Murder Case

Grant Park murder put spotlight on "30 Deep" crime gang

Following a four-day trial, the fate of Jonathan Redding, the man accused of murdering popular southeast Atlanta bartender John Henderson, rests in the hands of a Fulton County jury.

Redding, 19, is charged with Henderson's Jan. 7, 2009 shooting death inside the former Standard Food & Spirits Bar in Grant Park during a robbery.

Redding, whom prosecutors alleged is a member of the "30 Deep" street gang, was indicted last May in a 24-count indictment charging him with felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and armed robbery among other crimes.
