James Malik Johnson, 22, of Houston, Texas, was one of two men killed in Lake Charles, Louisiana, on March 25, 2022. Johnson and 18-year-old Jacob Yarbrough, also from Houston, were found in separate locations near the intersection of Common and LaGrange streets; one victim was lying outside a Chevrolet Impala parked in the middle of the road, the other was discovered a short distance away in the 3500 block of Common Street and pronounced dead by emergency medical personnel.

Police say the killings occurred during what they believe was a drug transaction that turned violent. Lake Charles detectives launched an investigation and on May 11, 2022, arrested 19-year-old Zyterius Anderson and 20-year-old Jamarcus Miller; each was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and held on bond set at $1.8 million. Miller had reportedly been arrested in a separate shooting about a month earlier.

Did anyone in the area see Johnson or Yarbrough the night of March 25, 2022, or have information about the transaction that led to their deaths?
