Thomas Johnson, a 48-year-old African American man from Germantown, Ohio, was fatally shot on April 15, 2016, at the Speedway gas station at 2001 Shiloh Springs Road in Trotwood. He suffered gunshot wounds to his right arm and chest and was taken by private vehicle to the VA Medical Center on West Third Street in Dayton, where he was pronounced dead. The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Surveillance at the VA Medical Center captured a four-door vehicle arriving and a man hastily exiting, footage that investigators used to identify and arrest three people later the same day: Dshawn Lynch, 20; Joshua Wilson, 33; and Randle Lavert Jr., 23. Lynch was charged with multiple counts including murder and felonious assault; Wilson faced felony drug possession and a misdemeanor probation violation; Lavert was detained pending formal charges. As of May 2, 2016, Lynch had been indicted and was held on a $1 million bond.

Johnson was a veteran receiving treatment at the VA for heart problems. His family said he was happy and relaxed, planning to marry in June and retire in Michigan. Does anyone have information that could help clarify what happened or the motive behind the shooting?
