On December 11, 2018, Denarrius Johnson, 21, was fatally shot on Cannon Street in Pelham, Georgia, alongside his friend Steven Freeman, 23. A third person was wounded in the same incident. The Pelham Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation opened a joint probe that quickly pointed to a suspect, Horace ’Chucky’ Ross. Ross was sought as armed and dangerous until he surrendered on December 17, 2018.

After his surrender Ross was charged with two counts of murder for the deaths of Denarrius Johnson and Steven Freeman, one count of aggravated assault for the injured person, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The GBI took the lead on the continuing investigation into the double homicide.

If anyone knew Denarrius or has information about the shooting on Cannon Street, please come forward to assist the investigation.
