Darius Johnson was 23 when he was killed in Baton Rouge on Thursday, October 29, 2015. A student of information technology at a local vocational college who helped with LSU postgame cleanup, Johnson was an innocent bystander caught in crossfire after a physical altercation at a BREC park near his home escalated into gunfire. Surveillance footage reportedly shows him stumbling back to his property and collapsing in his backyard; he was found there about 4 p.m. and pronounced dead at the scene.

Baton Rouge police identified three suspects in the shooting: 19-year-old Dyshun Winns, 23-year-old Alexander Brock, and 28-year-old Marcus Gillard, all wanted on second-degree murder charges. Authorities arrested Winns in the week after the shooting and later arrested Gillard; searches for Brock were ongoing at that time. If anyone knew Darius or saw activity near the park or his neighborhood that afternoon, please share what can help the investigation.
