Two separate deaths of men named Dondi Johnson are described in Baltimore, but they are distinct incidents with different circumstances. Dondi A. Johnson Jr., 34, was shot during an afternoon dispute on October 25, 2020, in the 3600 block of West Rogers Avenue. Officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Sinai Hospital and later died. A 22-year-old named Khristopher Johnson was arrested November 17, 2020, charged with first-degree murder, and later convicted by a jury in February 2023 of first-degree murder and related firearm counts. Sentencing information from May 31, 2023, is included in the file.

An earlier case concerns Dondi Johnson Sr., 43, who died December 7, 2005, from complications of a fractured spine he suffered while in police custody after a November 23, 2005, arrest for public urination. He became a quadriplegic after being transported in a police van without a seatbelt. A jury in April 2010 found two officers negligent and one grossly negligent and awarded the family $7.4 million in damages.

Did anyone in Baltimore know either man or have information about the 2020 shooting on West Rogers Avenue?
