Briana Nichol Johnson, 25, was killed in the early morning hours of August 2, 2020, in Kansas City, Missouri. A Raytown South High School graduate, she was a mother and worked at a dental office in Independence. She was at a friend’s home in the 7100 block of Bales Avenue when her boyfriend, 27-year-old DeCarlos D. Carrell, arrived about 4 a.m. Witnesses say Carrell, armed with a gun, demanded that Johnson come outside; when those inside refused to open the door he fired a single shot through the house that struck and killed her. He then fired multiple rounds into her vehicle parked outside.

Investigators identified Carrell as the suspect. A neighbor’s security camera recorded a man who gave his name as Carlos looking for Briana, and a witness inside the house later picked Carrell in a police lineup. The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office charged DeCarlos D. Carrell with second-degree murder, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, and three counts of armed criminal action; prosecutors requested bond of $150,000.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see Briana that night or notice the vehicle that was shot at outside the house?
