Rayshionna Johnson, 23, was fatally shot during a street party in Buffalo on September 19, 2020. The shooting at Glenwood Avenue and Jefferson Avenue also wounded four other people. At the time she was the mother of three small children: a one-year-old daughter and two-year-old twins, a boy and a girl.

A close friend and member of the anti-violence group Buffalo FATHERS stepped in to care for the children and planned to adopt them. The community organized donations of clothing and necessities for the children while the Buffalo Police Department appealed for information. Crime Stoppers Western New York offered a reward of up to $7,500 for tips leading to an arrest and indictment.

The homicide remains open and unresolved, with no publicly announced arrests or identified suspects as of the latest reporting. If anyone has information that could help bring Rayshionna’s killer to justice, please come forward.
