Leon Johnson, 36, was shot to death at his home on Cambridge Drive in Lockport, New York in the early hours of Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020. Emergency responders found him at about 2:33 A.M.; an autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death. He was known locally for his work in landscaping and his devotion to his children.

The New York State Police led the homicide investigation and located a suspect at a Rochester motel. Davaris Hodge, 28, of Lockport was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon and was held in the Niagara County Jail. The court case later moved forward and Hodge accepted a plea offer, concluding the prosecution’s proceedings in Johnson’s death.
