On a cold morning of January 2, 2015, 19-year-old Derrick Montez Johnson, a Black male, was found shot multiple times in the front yard of a home on Pinson Street in Newnan, Georgia, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe he was killed hours earlier; a passerby discovered the body around 7 a.m. Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots in the early morning, and police collected spent cartridges from the street near where Johnson was found. The residence where his body was located had no known connection to him.

Friends and family said Johnson had been walking home from a party at about 1:30 a.m. that morning. They described him as a recent high school graduate who had started a new job and, despite social media references to past gang activity, had been trying to make positive changes. No witnesses to the shooting came forward.

In April 2017 police publicly identified Andrew Mondre Wright as a suspect and sought the public’s help; he was arrested in early May 2017. Does anyone have information about Johnson, his movements that night, or the people he was with?
