S4:E8: The Senseless Murder of 62-year-old Kenneth Herring: “The Citizens Arrest”

Clayton County, GA – 62-year-old Kenneth Herring was a Husband, Father, and a loving Grandfather who took very good care of his family. But Kenneth’s life came to an abrupt and tragic end on May 17, 2019, when Kenneth came face-to-face with 21-year-old Hannah Payne. Kenneth was behind the wheel of his burgundy Dodge Dakota Truck when he began having a medical emergency and was going into diabetic shock. 

An eyewitness would report that Kenneth was disoriented and seemed confused, as a result of Kenneth’s medical emergency, he caused a minor fender bender, and as required by law, he remained at the scene of the accident. Kenneth waited for over 20 minutes for police to arrive, but he ended up leaving the scene to drive to a nearby hospital for medical attention. 

As Kenneth ran a red light on his way to the hospital, he would come face to face with Hannah Payne, a woman who was at the same intersection and witnessed the initial crash. When Kenneth ran the light leaving the scene, he cut Hannah Payne off in traffic. Although Hannah Payne was not involved in the crash, the police were already enroute to the scene. Hannah Payne pursued Kenneth assuming he was intoxicated and ordered him out of his vehicle at gunpoint, all while on the phone with 911, who ordered her NOT to pursue nor approach Mr. Herring. 

What would happen next would leave the community horrified and divided.
