Herbert Johnson was 23 when he was shot and killed outside a Waffle House on East Colonial Drive near North Alafaya Trail in Orlando around 3 a.m. on January 15, 2018. He and friends had returned to their car after ordering food when an argument with another group in the parking lot turned violent; Johnson was shot twice and died at the scene.

Witnesses described the other group as including Al-Jalil Shaki Byrd (known as Fooley), Jaelynn Castillo, and Donnell Holley. Byrd was later charged with first-degree murder; Castillo faced aggravated assault charges and Holley was charged as a principal to first-degree murder.

Johnson had graduated from Bethune-Cookman University with honors and was remembered as well-regarded by teachers and peers. His family had already suffered the earlier loss of his mother, who was killed in a robbery in 2009. Does anyone have additional information or eyewitness details about that night that could help clarify what happened?
