Shooter in Gaithersburg murder sentenced to life without parole

The Landover man convicted by a jury of shooting a 25-year-old Gaithersburg woman to death and then leaving her body behind a trash bin has been sentenced to life in prison without parole, plus 20 years.

Shawn Henderson, 25, was supposed to be in prison serving out a 10-year sentence for a 1999 armed robbery when he killed Lindsay Harvey in April 2008 for the $40 in her wallet, court documents said. Instead, he was released three years early in November 2006 and was in the midst of a three-year parole when Harvey was murdered, the Department of Corrections said.
