Ikeem Johnson, a 35-year-old Black sanitation worker from Philadelphia, was shot and killed on November 18, 2022, while working in Northeast Philadelphia. Johnson was in the passenger seat of a trash truck when a man approached, caused the driver to stop, walked to the passenger side and opened fire. Johnson was shot multiple times after the shooter exited the vehicle and died at the scene; the driver was unharmed.

Police said the shooting did not appear random and that the shooter seemed to know where Johnson would be. Surveillance video described the suspect wearing a black COVID-style mask, a dark blue Dickies-style jacket over a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and black Jordan 11 sneakers with white soles. The suspect drove a dark 2015–2019 Subaru Outback with a roof rack and dark tinted windows.

Police later identified two suspects, Nushar Scott, 39, and Rasheem aka Rasheen Trusty, 30. Scott was arrested January 23, 2023, and charged with murder and multiple weapons and conspiracy offenses; Trusty was arrested August 8, 2023. A $20,000 reward was being offered for information leading to an arrest. Johnson’s co-worker described him as a good guy; city leaders called his death an unspeakable tragedy.
