Makayla Johnson, 21, was fatally shot on Weston Avenue in Baker, Louisiana, on November 24, 2020. The East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner’s Office listed the cause of death as gunshot wounds and ruled the death a homicide.

Authorities say the confrontation began when a 38-year-old man, Justin McCrainey, approached Johnson and accused her of assaulting a friend. An argument followed, and McCrainey allegedly produced a firearm and shot Johnson.

The Baker Police Department announced that McCrainey was identified as the suspect and that he was arrested the following Friday in connection with Johnson’s murder. If anyone has information about what happened that evening or knew Makayla, please come forward.
