Westley Pullins, 37, was found dead in the driver’s seat of his vehicle on Barber Street near Aldrich Drive in Baton Rouge in the early morning of November 12, 2018. His home was the Fairway View Apartments on College Drive. An investigation determined Pullins had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Detectives later identified two suspects: 23-year-old James-Michael Johnson and 24-year-old John Simpson. A witness said Johnson and Simpson had arranged to buy drugs from Pullins and that Johnson produced a firearm and shot him during the alleged transaction. Both suspects were located and arrested out of state — Simpson in Houston, Texas, and Johnson in Chandler, Arizona — and were awaiting extradition to Louisiana. Johnson was to be charged with first-degree murder; Simpson faced a charge as principal to first-degree murder and was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
