A bystander intervention outside an apartment complex in the J.C. Napier Homes in Nashville ended in homicide on the evening of June 19, 2021. At about 10:30 p.m., 26-year-old Ernest Johnson saw a man and a woman arguing and moved to intervene. Johnson was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and died of his injuries.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department quickly identified Givens as the suspect and an arrest warrant for criminal homicide was issued on June 20, 2021. Givens remained at large for months before being taken into custody in Clarksville in early January 2022 and later extradited to Nashville; court records show an open criminal homicide case with a future court date. There has been no public announcement of a trial, conviction, or sentence as of the latest court entries.

Does anyone have information about Ernest Johnson, the June 19 scene at J.C. Napier Homes, or witnesses who might not yet have been contacted?
