A man whose Pastor described as “strong in his faith” wiped out his entire family, he himself was later killed by state troopers after failing to stop for a routine check.
Police believe Jason Hendrix killed his parents after he was grounded following an argument with them on February 9.
They cut off the teen’s cellphone and computer use it has been alleged and a newspaper also reported that the dispute was over computer use.
Hendrix allegedly killed his family before attending a youth meeting at the church last Wednesday night.
Later on Valentine Day’s Hendrix, who was driving a Honda Pilot, failed to stop when a Maryland trooper tried to pull him over on Interstate 95, and was shot dead in a police chase, 600 miles from his Kentucky home.
Baltimore County Police Department said this in a release, “As officers approached the Honda Pilot, gunfire came from the vehicle, striking an officer,” police said. “Officers then returned fire on the vehicle.”
Unaware, Baltimore police traced his number plate, only then did they become aware that Hendrix may have earlier orchestrated the grusome murder of his own family.
To the pastor of Forward Community Church in Corbin, Kentucky, Jason Hendrix was a mainstay of the congregation, arriving early Sunday mornings to help set up in the movie theater that doubles as a house of prayer.
“Everybody that knows Jason — it has been amazing to hear what they thought about him,” pastor Drew Mahan said Tuesday. “He was strong in his faith. … When you think of our church, you think of guys like Jason.”
“He stood out among all of our teenagers,” his pastor said.
