A domestic dispute led to a deadly shootout in a New Orleans drugstore parking lot. Alfred Johnson IV, 23, was located by the girlfriend’s father and cousins after an argument the previous day; prosecutors described the incident as a retribution killing. The group went to the Rite Aid on Gentilly Boulevard searching for Johnson. A gun battle broke out there, and authorities believe Gerald Barnes, 29, shot Johnson while riding in a car driven by Christopher Patterson, 48. Johnson reportedly returned fire, wounding an unnamed cousin multiple times.

Johnson crashed near Gentilly Boulevard and Elysian Fields Avenue and was taken to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries. An Orleans Parish grand jury later indicted Barnes and Patterson on second-degree murder charges. Does anyone have information about Johnson’s movements that day or who witnessed the shooting at the Rite Aid parking lot?
