Ronnie Lee Johnson, 49, was shot and killed inside his Jacksonville Westside home on Monteau Drive on the morning of Sunday, February 13, 2022. He had arrived at about 9 a.m. carrying packages when someone approached him from behind and fired at least one shot; he fell and died at the scene. His wife had just entered the house and the couple’s son was asleep inside at the time.

Investigators concluded the killing was not a robbery and said the assailant appeared to have known Johnson’s routine and been lying in wait. Surveillance video reportedly showed a man on a bicycle hiding in the area roughly 30 minutes before the shooting.

Mental competency became central to the case. Both defense and state experts found Thompson unable to appreciate the seriousness of the charges or assist in his defense, and in July 2022 a judge remanded him to the Department of Children and Families for treatment, with a competency review set for the following January. Is anyone in the Jacksonville area familiar with Johnson’s routine or the events that morning?
