Dontae Bernard Johnson was 23 when he was found shot to death in the parking lot of The Vie apartment complex in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on March 18, 2016. The Murfreesboro Police Department opened a homicide investigation and sought witnesses and public tips after the killing.

Investigators worked the case for more than a year and a half. In December 2017 the Violent Crimes Unit announced a breakthrough: four people were arrested and charged in connection with Johnson’s death. Charges included First Degree Murder, Especially Aggravated Robbery, Tampering with Evidence, False Reports to an Officer, and Accessory After the Fact.

Anyone who knew Dontae, was at The Vie on March 18, 2016, or has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
