BILLINGS – A man accused of shooting and killing 25-year old Christian Henning in the parking lot of a restaurant last summer is waiving his right to trial.
Rahim Calloway entered into a plea agreement with the State of Montana, admitting to the charge of deliberate homicide.
The State of Montana is waiving the weapons enhancement charge as part of the plea deal.
Under the plea deal, Calloway will serve no more than 60 years in state prison with credit for time served.
Calloway will be eligible for parole as the plea agreement does not set a minimum requirement for time served.
Under the guilty plea Calloway admits to traveling to the Dairy Queen on Billings West End on Aug. 8, 2020 and shooting and killing Henning who was inside his vehicle.
Calloway states he received a call on Aug. 8, 2020 from Henning, who allegedly made threats against him and his family. The two then agreed to meet in the Dairy Queen on King Avenue later that day. Calloway said, upon arrival at the Dairy Queen, he approached Henning’s vehicle while carrying a firearm he allegedly, routinely carried for self-defense. When he reached the vehicle, Calloway said he saw Henning reach for something and fired his handgun, knowing it would result in probable death.
