Janiah Tanae Johnson was 22 when she was fatally shot on August 3, 2022, in Sacramento, California. The killing happened in the early morning at the Speedway gas station on Gateway Oaks Drive and El Camino in the Natomas area, where she worked as a cashier. She was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene a week after celebrating her 22nd birthday.

Investigators named Janiah’s ex-boyfriend, Rashawn Maurice Anderson, as the primary suspect, accusing him of shooting her multiple times with a semiautomatic handgun and fleeing the state afterward. The firearm used has not been recovered. Court filings show Anderson was charged with first-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm; trial evidence included eyewitness testimony and forensic analysis.

Janiah had moved to Sacramento to pursue a music career and was remembered by family and friends as ambitious and vibrant. Does anyone who knew Janiah or who was in the Natomas area that morning have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
