Brandon James, 27, was one of two people killed in a downtown Cleveland apartment on January 21, 2016. Rasheed Bandy, 35, was also killed; two other people in the apartment were unharmed.

Johnson reportedly fled Cleveland after the shooting and was captured in Muskegon, Michigan, in September 2016. He was returned to Ohio and faced multiple charges including aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, tampering with evidence and having weapons under disability. A jury found him guilty of aggravated murder on January 20, 2018, and the court sentenced him to life without parole; the account notes a death penalty phase was scheduled but does not provide its outcome.

If anyone knew Brandon James or was in that building on January 21, 2016, please share any information that could help fill gaps in the timeline or clarify what happened.
