Shortly after midnight on an early morning in Washington Heights, 26-year-old Derrick Johnson of the Bronx was found by police lying unconscious and unresponsive on the pavement in front of 469 West 164th Street after a burst of gunfire. Officers responded to a 911 call around 12:38 a.m.; Johnson had been shot in the back and in the ankle and was taken to NYC Health & Hospitals/Harlem, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Detectives from the New York Police Department opened an immediate investigation. At the time of the initial reports, and in the most recent updates available, no arrests had been announced and no suspect or motive had been publicly identified. The shooting left the neighborhood shaken and looking for answers.
