On the night of July 15, 2019, a planned sale of Xanax bars on the 2900 block of Pulaski Highway in Baltimore turned into a fatal robbery. Twenty-two-year-old Jaquan Johnson and a friend had arranged the transaction with two people; Johnson was shot twice and later found by Baltimore Police on the 200 block of North Linwood Avenue with gunshot wounds to the torso. He died and his death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators identified two suspects: Aaron Michael Clubb and Tywon Johnson. Surveillance footage captured Clubb, Tywon Johnson, and a third person walking toward the scene before the shooting. A trail of blood later identified as Clubb’s led police to a pill bottle; Clubb was found on the 2900 block of East Fayette Street with a gunshot wound to his left knee and initially considered a victim. Prosecutors said Clubb had planned to rob Johnson; at trial jurors were shown that only one gun was fired at the scene, with five shell casings and two projectiles recovered.

Court records show Clubb was tried and, in May 2023, convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, and illegal possession of a firearm, and later sentenced. A warrant had been issued for Tywon Johnson and a separate trial was expected. If anyone knew Jaquan, the people he spent time with that night, or saw them on Pulaski Highway, please come forward with information.
