PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – The Pace Chronicle published a special edition newspaper completely dedicated to the one year anniversary of the fatal shooting of former student Danroy "DJ" Henry.
The 12-page newspaper released Wednesday by the Pace University campus newspaper features articles, poems and photographic memories related to Henry.
"Approaching the anniversary of DJ Henry's death, The Pace Chronicle staff decided to dedicate an entire issue to the incident that touched the entire Pace community. Many are still seeking closure but there are still questions to be answered," the paper said.
Those that contributed articles include staff members of the Chronicle and even some of Henry's professors, such as professor Howard Weishaus.
Henry, a Pace football player, was shot and killed outside a bar in Thornwood by Pleasantville Police Officer Aaron Hess on Oct. 17, 2010. Police said Henry ran his car into Hess, who fired through the windshield. Henry was just 20 years old at the time of his death and would have been a senior this fall.
A copy of the newspaper can be picked up at the Pace University campus, or viewed online here.

SAME COMMENT TO PACE: Maybe your good boy wan't so good !!!!!
I am so tired of the bleeding hearts saying what a good boy he was etc, etc. He was underage drinking and driving a car. When the cop told him to stop he tried to drive away. WHY?? It is a shame the price he had to pay , but he wasn’t too smart to try and run. A normal person would have stopped and gotten out of the car. What if he got away and with drinks in him hit your son, daughter, wife or husband and hurt or killed them would he still be a good boy? It’s time we back our police and take the hand cuffs off them. It is also time the news media starts reporting all the crime in our area and not make everyone think Thornwood, Pleasantville and Chappaqua are a low crime area. The “GOOD KIDS” hanging out at night in Rose hill shopping center are going to be the next problem
