Autumn Johnson was one year old when she was killed on February 9, 2016, in Compton, California. She was in her crib while her mother prepared a bottle when gunshots rang out; a bullet struck Autumn in the head and she died at the scene. Witness accounts describe a shooter who had exited a blue Chevrolet Impala, approached the family’s home, and fired multiple rounds at the garage before fleeing.

Officials believe the intended target may have been Autumn’s father, Darrell Johnson, or another person tied to gang activity. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department treated the case as an active homicide investigation and appealed to the public for information.

In October 2017 prosecutors charged three men — Davion Douglas, Denzel Hull, and Ronzay Richards — with murder and related offenses; each pleaded not guilty. The indictment included allegations the crimes were committed for the benefit of a street gang.

Did anyone in the Compton area have information about the blue Chevrolet Impala or the night of February 9, 2016?
