Jeffery Johnson was 34 when he was fatally shot in Metairie, Louisiana, on the evening of September 7, 2016, in what has been called the Bengal Road homicide. His death was one of three shootings in East Jefferson around that time, two of them fatal, a cluster that raised questions about whether the incidents were connected.

Investigators later arrested a River Ridge man, Carlos Heard, and charged him with Johnson’s murder. Motive and detailed circumstances of the fatal encounter have not been widely released, and public information about the evidence and any trial outcome is limited.

If anyone knew Jeffery Johnson, saw activity near Bengal Road on September 7, 2016, or has information about the shootings in East Jefferson that summer, please share what is known.
