Kenneth Johnson Jr., 26, was shot and killed at his home on Roycroft Drive in Rochester, New York, on the night of August 9, 2022. Police were called to the 300 block near Carter Street at about 10:30 p.m. after reports of gunfire; Johnson was found inside the house with multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital, where he died a short time later.

Investigators described the incident as an active homicide. Police said Johnson had been outside with several people when an altercation erupted after Christopher Williams, a parolee and parole absconder, was present; the conflict allegedly escalated and Johnson was shot multiple times. Williams was arrested on August 10, 2022, in Irondequoit by the U.S. Marshals’ Violent Felony Fugitive Task Force and arraigned on two counts of second-degree murder and weapons charges, pleading not guilty. Reports in September 2022 said an indictment charged him on two second-degree murder counts and additional weapons counts.

Does anyone who knew Kenneth or who was in that neighborhood that night have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
