Chris Henry's Fiance Will Not Be Charged

Police have announced they will not file charges against the fiancee of late Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry in connection with his death last month. Police announced Wednesday that there was no evidence that Loleini Tonga drove recklessly or with excessive speed last month when Henry was fatally injured after coming off the back of her pickup truck on a curvy residential road. Pop the yellow tag below for the rest of the story.

Police say Henry and Tonga were arguing at home owned by Tonga’s family in northwest Charlotte on the morning of Dec. 16 when Tonga attempted to drive away. A witness said he saw a shirtless Henry jump into the back of the truck.

A 911 caller said she saw Henry beating on the back window as she drove behind the truck. About a minute later, another 911 caller said he saw an unresponsive man laying in the road. Henry died a day later of blunt-force trauma to the head. He was 26.

Tonga told ESPN this week that Henry jumped out of the back, but was not trying to harm himself. She said she thinks Henry thought he would land safely and may have been scared because he saw someone calling the police.
