Video After The Jump
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (Houston Chronicle) - The mother of the man accused of killing Nassau Bay Sergeant Kaila Sullivan said she covered for her son during a two-day manhunt “because I am a mom,” according to court documents.
Tiffany Henderson and her boyfriend now face felony charges of hindering apprehension for their roles in helping her son, Tavores, Henderson, evade arrest. They have both posted bond and been released from jail, while Tavores remains locked up on capital murder charges.
Authorities say Tavores Henderson, 21, was pulled over Tuesday night for speeding. When they tried to arrest him for a warrant related to domestic violence, Henderson fled the scene and allegedly struck Sullivan with his car.
A 16-year-veteran of the force, Sullivan was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. She was only 43.
When sheriff’s deputies first went to Henderson’s home to question her about her son’s whereabouts, she denied knowing who he was. Detectives later discovered through surveillance video that Henderson had dropped her son at a hotel on the South Loop before she got home to speak with investigators.
