A confrontation in the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood of St. Louis on the afternoon of August 22, 2016, ended with the death of 39-year-old Michael Johnson. Police say the incident began when Johnson allegedly punched a man in a wheelchair near Manchester Avenue and Sarah Street. Bystanders watched as the situation quickly escalated.

After the initial assault, Johnson was shot in the back and suffered critical injuries. He was taken to a local hospital and died days later. Authorities arrested a 35-year-old man soon after the shooting; investigators described the shooter as an acquaintance of the wheelchair user who had witnessed the punch. Prosecutors were reviewing the circumstances, including claims related to defense of another person.

Does anyone who was in that area on August 22, 2016, or who knew any of the people involved have information to share?
