Dog Owner Charged in Deadly Hollywood Walk of Fame Attack

Patrick Randall Perry, 55, faces a murder charge for his role in a fatal group assault that occurred on May 20 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This marks the fourth arrest in connection with the broad daylight killing of 37-year-old Berry Le'Mar Henderson.

Henderson was first attacked by Perry's dog while waiting for a bus. He reportedly stabbed the dog in self-defense. Subsequently, Perry and three other individuals pursued Henderson across the street, assaulting him with a metal bat and other weapons. Perry then used the victim's dropped knife to stab him.

The violent encounter unfolded near numerous iconic stars on the Walk of Fame. Surveillance footage captured the group attacking Henderson, who sustained multiple stab wounds and was later pronounced dead at a hospital. His sister described him as an innocent man.

Perry's criminal history includes prior convictions and a 2024 arrest for fighting outside a Scientology building. He also previously ordered his dog to attack two men, receiving mental health diversion due to diagnosed bipolar disorder from his Army service. Perry and the three other suspects are each held on $2 million bail, with their arraignment dates pending.
