Marcas Johnson, 19, of West Palm Beach, Florida, was fatally shot on January 22, 2020, after a dispute over a missing dirt bike. Johnson and his girlfriend had been searching for the bike and went to Tommy’s Cycle on 10th Street, where they encountered Divien Colson and Broadus Peterkine Jr., both of Riviera Beach. A confrontation followed; Colson produced a firearm, Peterkine handled the gun and pointed it at Johnson, and after Johnson and his girlfriend left, Colson and Peterkine pursued them on a dirt bike. Peterkine fired from the rear seat and Johnson was struck and later died of a gunshot wound.

Both Colson and Peterkine were arrested and charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault with a firearm, and shooting into an unoccupied vehicle. Prosecutors told the jury they conspired to kill Johnson, with Colson driving the dirt bike and Peterkine firing the shots; the defense disputed witness credibility and aspects of the evidence. The court later sentenced both men to life in prison without parole, with additional concurrent terms for the other counts.

Does anyone have information about Johnson’s movements that morning or saw the dirt bike before January 22, 2020?
