On the evening of November 5, 2018, 20-year-old Jaquain Johnson of Poughkeepsie, New York, was shot in the area of Mill and Garden streets and found in the middle of the westbound arterial. He died of his injuries the next day.

Authorities connected the shooting to 37-year-old Terry Cherry of Poughkeepsie; Cherry was arrested for a parole violation the same day and was later charged in early December 2018 with murder in the second degree while still in custody. A second defendant, 41-year-old Oba Johnson, was also implicated. After a two-week jury trial that ended on October 1, 2019, both men were found guilty of murder in the second degree.

In December 2019 both were sentenced to 25 years to life in State Prison for the murder convictions; Cherry also received a concurrent 15-year term for criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. Does anyone have information about Jaquain’s activities that night or about the area around Mill and Garden streets?
