Johnny Edward Scott was an 18-year-old who was shot and killed on September 8, 2021, on West Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina. He and a second victim were shot at the same location; both were taken to hospital after the second victim received initial help at a nearby Walmart and an ambulance transported them. Johnny died at the hospital; the other victim was reported with life-threatening injuries.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police later identified 23-year-old Darvon Fletcher as the suspect. Fletcher was also injured in the shooting and taken to the hospital. CMPD obtained warrants for murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, but Fletcher died from his injuries before he could be arrested and formally charged. Detectives concluded their investigation following his death.
