On the evening of June 15, 2016, in Memphis, Tennessee, 41-year-old Tracy Johnson was shot and killed while sitting in a car in a driveway with another man, Damond Dawson. Five men approached the vehicle intending to commit a robbery; the encounter escalated and both Johnson and Dawson were fatally shot.

Police investigation identified Kevin Burns as one of the ringleaders. Burns and four accomplices were said to have planned the robbery and were armed when they confronted the two men. Burns fled to Chicago after the killings but was arrested and charged with both murders.

Burns was tried and convicted on two counts of felony murder. He received a life sentence for Tracy Johnson’s killing and a death sentence for Damond Dawson’s murder. The Tennessee Supreme Court later affirmed the convictions and the sentences. Does anyone have information about Johnson’s life or the people who might have known him that could shed light on that night?
