RATHDRUM — Police arrested a teen in Rathdrum early Saturday morning in connection with the shooting death of another teen in Las Vegas earlier this month, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.
Lennix M. Dockery, 18, of Las Vegas, was arrested on a homicide warrant out of Nevada. He was located at a residence in the 15100 block of N. McCartney Street in Rathdrum and booked into the Kootenai County jail.
Undersheriff Brett Nelson confirmed Saturday that the warrant is related to the April 9 apartment complex shooting in Las Vegas that left 16-year-old Ah’Sioni Henderson dead.
Fox 5 Vegas reported that two other suspects have been arrested in the case: 18-year-old DeAjai Guaydacan and a 17-year-old suspect who has not been publicly named.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and Coeur d’Alene Police Department Joint SWAT team coordinated the arrest.
Las Vegas authorities reportedly notified KCSO and the Coeur d’Alene Police Department on Friday that they had been tracking Dockery after the shooting and he may be in Kootenai County.
Police identified the Rathdrum residence where Dockery “was most likely staying,” according to the sheriff’s office, and obtained a search warrant for the residence.
“Shortly after the SWAT team surrounded the house and began making announcements, Dockery exited the residence and was arrested without incident,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Kootenai County detectives searched the residence for evidence of the shooting, according to a news release.
