The murder trial of a Rineyville man is due to begin this week.
The Hardin County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that jury selection began Monday for the Commonwealth of Kentucky versus Jordan Henning. Henning was arrested and charged with Murder following the June 2023 shooting death of his wife Ashley Henning.
“From my knowledge, it was her birthday and they were having a party, and sometime during that party, the husband and wife get into it,” said Hardin County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy David Lee, discussing the incident with Quicksie and the Wolf in 2023. “People at the party start to leave. Neighbors come over to try to talk to them, and I think one of the neighbors actually takes the children and takes them home. He kind of runs the neighbors off. The majority of the people leave, and evidently they still get into it, stay into it, and he shoots her five times and then leaves, and he was caught by our deputies shortly after he left the scene.”
Officials said both of the Hennings were active duty service members stationed at Fort Knox at the time of the incident, which led to the Fort Knox Criminal Investigation Division joining the sheriff’s office in the investigation.
Opening statements are scheduled to begin Wednesday. Henning has been held at the Hardin County Detention Center on a $1 million cash bond.
