Michael Dwayne Johnson was 28 when he was found shot to death in eastern New Orleans on the evening of Monday, March 11, 2013. Authorities say the killing followed a dispute that turned violent; witnesses reported hearing gunshots and saw a dark-colored vehicle flee the scene. Johnson was a father to one son, Michael Dwayne Johnson Jr.

Early investigative accounts led to the arrests of Jamal Miller, 30, and his wife, Santell Larkins, 27. Detectives were told the argument began over a car sale, and Miller reportedly said the dispute escalated until another man fired the weapon that killed Johnson. A separate account linked the killing to a dispute over a drug deal and implicated local gang members; two people identified as members of that gang were later arrested and charged with first-degree murder and scheduled for trial.

Several different narratives have been reported about motive and who fired the fatal shot. If anyone knew Michael, his movements that night, or saw a dark-colored vehicle in eastern New Orleans on March 11, 2013, please share what is known.
