Man charged in death of veteran who was found dead in street

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - A 23-year-old man is accused of fatally beating an Afghanistan war veteran, whose body was found in a South Bend street.

The South Bend Tribune (http://bit.ly/1UM23V3 ) reported Tuesday that Jabreeh Cash Davis-Martin of South Bend has been charged with murder in the death of 27-year-old Jodie Henderson.

Henderson was found dead in a street Jan. 16. The county coroner ruled in February that he died primarily of multiple blunt-force and chop injuries. Possible contributing factors included alcohol intoxication and exposure to the cold.

Henderson served in the Army National Guard.

It wasn't immediately known if Davis-Martin has an attorney.
