Joshua Dontae Johnson, 28 and a Los Angeles resident, was fatally shot in the Watts neighborhood on November 7, 2014. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list his death as a homicide. The incident occurred on a Friday and involved gun violence.

The Los Angeles Police Department opened an investigation but faced obstacles including a lack of eyewitnesses and few concrete leads. Community reluctance to come forward is noted as complicating the inquiry. In the months after the shooting there were no immediate arrests or publicly identified suspects, and detectives used surveillance footage and forensic evidence while pursuing leads.

The case remains unsolved with no significant developments in arrests or prosecutions reported. Can anyone with information about Joshua, the shooting on November 7, 2014, or relevant footage or tips contact the LAPD?
