Summer Johnson was 20 when she was found dead in the Bryson City, North Carolina, home she shared with her boyfriend on the morning of February 19, 2014. A certified nursing assistant and the mother of an infant daughter, she died of a fatal gunshot wound.

Initial reports to emergency services from Alex Crisp suggested an accident or self-inflicted injury, but investigators developed a different picture after examining the scene. Neighbors reported frequent arguments between the couple, and evidence gathered at the home led to Crisp’s arrest and a murder charge.

The case went to trial in August 2019, where the prosecution argued the shooting was deliberate and the defense described it as a tragic accident involving a firearm. The proceedings had been delayed for years, prolonging the family’s anguish.

If anyone knew Summer, her daily routines, or what happened that February morning, please share what is known with authorities.
