Matthew Deon Johnson, 22, was shot in the head near an apartment building in north Minneapolis on the night of Thursday, June 10, 2010. He was taken to a hospital but later died of his injuries. His death came at the start of a four-day stretch of fatal shootings that claimed two other young men in separate incidents.

Minneapolis police said Matthew was known to the department but did not detail the nature of that contact or suggest a motive. Investigators initially expressed confidence in solving the recent string of killings, but the Matthew Johnson case grew cold. No suspects have been publicly identified, no arrests were made, and progress was impeded by a lack of cooperation from potential witnesses.

Anyone who knew Matthew, saw activity near the apartment building that night, or has information that could help investigators is asked to come forward.
