On January 15, 2020, 20-year-old Khari Johnson of Gwynn Oak was shot in broad daylight in the 200 block of West Baltimore Street near the Royal Farms Arena. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries. The shooting occurred during the midday rush and an on-duty officer nearby helped secure evidence at the scene.

Investigators used that evidence and technology to identify 29-year-old Calvin Stevens as a suspect. Baltimore police arrested Stevens on February 7, 2020, and charged him with Johnson’s murder. The case went to trial; on November 23, 2022, Stevens was convicted of first-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony violent crime. During sentencing in March 2023 the judge imposed a life term for the murder plus a consecutive 20-year sentence for the firearm charge.

If anyone knew Khari or has information about his life or the events that day, please share what you know.
