A Columbus woman has been charged in a deadly road rage incident that began with what police describe as a minor fender-bender in a Westerville grocery store parking lot and ended with a man’s death on a busy street.

According to court records, 34-year-old Danielle Henry faces multiple felony charges, including aggravated vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter, hit-skip on private property, and failure to stop at the scene of an accident. She was arrested Saturday and remains in custody at the James Karnes Corrections Center in Franklin County.

The confrontation started in a Kroger parking lot, where Henry’s vehicle and another driven by 43-year-old Ibrahim Diakite were involved in a minor collision. Police say Henry drove off after the initial crash. Diakite to followed her in his car as she exited the parking lot. The two vehicles came to a stop near the intersection of West Schrock and Cooper roads, where the conflict escalated into tragedy.

According to an affidavit filed in Franklin County Municipal Court, Diakite pulled in front of Henry’s car, exited his vehicle, and stood directly in front of hers, apparently trying to prevent her from leaving again. Witnesses told investigators that he eventually climbed onto the hood of Henry’s car. What happened next, police said, was both brief and catastrophic.

Investigators allege Henry accelerated rapidly — reaching speeds of up to 45 miles per hour — with Diakite still on the hood. He was dragged for between 300 and 600 feet before falling off and being run over. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Prosecutors allege Henry made no attempt to stop or render aid after striking Diakite, instead fleeing the scene. She was later taken into custody by Columbus police after an investigation that included witness accounts and surveillance footage.

The charges against Henry — particularly aggravated vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter — reflect what prosecutors say was a conscious disregard for human life. Each carries the potential for significant prison time if she is convicted.

As of Monday, Henry had not entered a plea, and her legal counsel had not commented publicly on the case.

Outside the Kroger where the confrontation began, shoppers left flowers and candles near the edge of the parking lot in memory of Diakite, who friends described as “soft-spoken” and “the kind of guy who never wanted trouble.”
