On December 7, 2016, the body of 27-year-old Autura V. Johnson, an African American man from Statesboro, was found inside a vehicle parked near a woodline in the 200 block of Flonell Avenue in Port Wentworth, Georgia. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and the Port Wentworth Police Department opened an investigation into the apparent homicide. The street where he was found was examined as detectives searched for clues about what happened.

Investigators later identified a person of interest and arrested 38-year-old Eric Dunson of Garden City. The case moved into the criminal justice system as authorities continued to develop the circumstances surrounding Johnson’s death.

If anyone knew Autura V. Johnson, saw activity in the area that night, or has information that could help, please come forward to local law enforcement.
