Late on a Sunday night in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, 45-year-old Renae Johnson was found dead on Wade Street near a van with its driver’s side door open. She had sustained gunshot wounds to the chest. Aliquippa police opened an investigation into her death.

Phone records and surveillance footage placed Johnson at the home of 29-year-old Deshawn Williams on Irwin Street; footage showed her minivan arriving after Williams had arranged for her to pick him up. Williams initially told police Johnson never arrived, but video showed him leaving his apartment around the same time her van pulled up. A witness told police Williams confessed, saying Johnson had attempted to rob him. Officers recovered a stolen gun and ammunition at Williams’ home.

Williams was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, possession of a prohibited firearm, receiving stolen property, and carrying a firearm without a license; he was held at the Beaver County Jail without bond and denied shooting her when escorted from the station. Does anyone have information about Johnson’s final movements or the pickup on Irwin Street?
