In the pre-dawn hours of December 16, 2021, Justin Michael Johnson, a 38-year-old Black man, was sitting in his 1997 Lincoln Town Car on Lucia Avenue in the Yale Heights neighborhood of Baltimore when he was ambushed and fatally shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot six times in the back, with bullets striking his heart, lungs, and spine.

The investigation linked Johnson’s killing to a nearly simultaneous ambush-style shooting of Baltimore Police Officer Keona Holley. Authorities identified two suspects, Elliot Knox, 31, and Travon Shaw, 32, and connected them to both scenes. Johnson was acquainted with the alleged killers; his sister said Travon Shaw was considered a close friend. Knox admitted being present at both shootings and said Shaw was the gunman.

Family described Johnson as a hardworking father of five. He was remembered by his mother, Justina Lawrence, as a young man trying to make his way in a wicked world. Does anyone have information about Johnson’s last known movements on December 16, 2021?
