On January 10, 2022, 53-year-old Joseph JoJo Zenon, an African American man from Lafayette, Louisiana, was shot and killed. His death was recorded as the city’s first homicide of 2022 and prompted a Lafayette Police Department investigation.

Investigators arrested and charged a woman in connection with the killing; her name was not widely publicized in initial reports. Later developments show another person, Artimus Johnson, was implicated and in April 2025 pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact and received a suspended three-year hard labor sentence. The motivations for the shooting and the full circumstances have not been fully explained in public reports.

If anyone knew Joseph JoJo Zenon, his routines, or saw anything in Lafayette around January 10, 2022, please share information that might help fill gaps in this investigation.
