Benjamin Johnson, a 37-year-old father of four, was shot in the upper body and pronounced dead at the scene from a single gunshot wound to the chest during an altercation after what was reported as a drug transaction at a home on Camelot Street in Columbia, South Carolina, on a Friday night in January 2017. Law enforcement reported finding drugs, scales, and a gun at the scene.

The case drew national attention because a camera crew for the A&E reality show Live PD was riding with Richland County deputies when they responded; footage showing Johnson’s body in the front yard was broadcast, and his family recognized the location and their relative from the program. The sheriff’s office said his face was not shown and he was not identified on air.

In the days after the shooting, three people were arrested: Sherman Antonio Green Jr. and Roosevelt Durham Jr. were charged with murder, and Porchia Nicole Green was arrested on charges of conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Benjamin and can help clarify what happened?
