Daune Walton Johnson, 30, was found dead on a Sacramento sidewalk on May 4, 2022. Deputies responding to a call about a person lying on the sidewalk in the 5100 block of Southwest Avenue arrived around 11:24 p.m. and found Johnson suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Deputies and Sacramento Metro Fire performed life-saving efforts, but Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation led to the arrest of 35-year-old Roman Julian Lopez. Lopez, described as a known felon with a prior history that included a 2020 case for possession of a firearm by a felon, battery against a person with whom he had a previous dating relationship, and assault with a deadly weapon, was taken into custody on May 14, 2022, and charged with Johnson’s murder. He was being held at the Sacramento County Main Jail without bail while authorities continued to gather evidence.

Does anyone in Sacramento have information on Johnson’s last known movements or who might have seen activity near Southwest Avenue that night?
