Reuben Lee Rudy Lee Johnson, 56, a retired Navy veteran of 20 years, and his daughter Aaliyah True Johnson were found dead in their San Diego home on May 30, 2012. Reuben had been shot twice, once in the torso and once in the head; Aaliyah had been shot once in the head. Both bodies were in a state of decomposition, indicating they had been dead several days before discovery.

Regina Johnson, Reuben’s wife and Aaliyah’s mother, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder after a 9mm handgun was recovered at the scene. She pleaded not guilty and was held without bail. Motive was not immediately clear, and the killings drew widespread attention because a family member was the primary suspect.

Are there readers who knew Reuben or Aaliyah and can share details about their lives or anything that might help explain what happened?
