Charles Johnson, a 33-year-old African American cab driver, was killed in Rockford, Illinois, on October 31, 2015. According to reports, Johnson answered a call for a ride and, after arriving at the intersection of Avon and Blaisdell Streets in the early hours of Halloween, was robbed and shot by an unknown assailant. Personal belongings were taken, and robbery appeared to be the motive.

The Rockford Police Department opened an investigation but no arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. A lack of witnesses and concrete evidence has been cited as hampering progress. Johnson’s family has pursued public appeals, attended vigils and stayed in contact with authorities while pressing for continued attention to the case.

Does anyone have information about Johnson’s final fare or who might have been in the Avon and Blaisdell area that night?
