Victor Lamar Johnson, 34, was found dead of gunshot wounds on May 23, 2016, inside a silver Nissan Maxima on Blake Street near Cranford Avenue in Fort Myers. The shooting happened about 10:20 a.m.; witnesses reported a black Dodge pickup fleeing the scene and that truck was later located abandoned at an apartment complex on Metro Parkway.

Documents released after the killing show federal agents opened a criminal probe into alleged corruption at both the Fort Myers Police Department and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. He is named in those materials, which say he may have had ties to a drug trafficking ring and note a lengthy criminal record going back to 1999, including time in a Florida prison for a 2000 homicide. The Freeh Report on policing in Fort Myers also mentions Johnson while describing allegations of officer misconduct.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. His mother, Victoria, voiced frustration at the lack of answers; his wife, Lavola, declined to comment and is related to an FMPD member who was placed on administrative leave. Does anyone have information about Johnson’s movements that morning or about the black Dodge pickup seen leaving the scene?
