On the evening of Thursday, March 24, 2022, 65-year-old Shirley Bush was found inside a vehicle on the 2500 block of Damascus Road in Augusta, Georgia, suffering at least one gunshot wound. Deputies from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office and medical personnel responded, and the coroner pronounced Bush dead at the scene. The sheriff’s office opened a homicide investigation to determine how the shooting occurred.

The next day investigators arrested 58-year-old Michael Johnson of Augusta. He was charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Authorities say the shooting grew out of a dispute between Bush and Johnson; the precise motive and full sequence of events have not yet been detailed in court.

If anyone knew Shirley, saw activity on Damascus Road that night, or has information about the dispute, please share what you know with investigators.
