On Wednesday, November 24,2021 at 12:50 pm, University Heights Police were dispatched to Scholl Rd. for a report of shots fired and a car that had crashed into another car in the same area.

Further investigation revealed that Johnson had been shot multiple times in the chest. The University Heights Fire Department Rescue Squad transported Johnson to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
