Terry Wayne Johnson Jr. was 19 when he was fatally shot in Memphis, Tennessee, on the evening of November 14, 2012. The shooting occurred at the Greenbriar Apartments after a dispute; Johnson was struck five times and pronounced dead at the scene. He had been a co-defendant in a 2011 fatal robbery case but had been released on bond after agreeing to cooperate and was expected to testify against an alleged fellow gang member, Nico Farmer.

Authorities say the killing was retaliatory, intended to prevent Johnson from testifying. A security guard witnessed Darryl Claxton, also known as Peewee, fire at Johnson, chased him as he fled, and detained him until Memphis police arrived. Claxton was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Eyewitness testimony from the security guard was central at trial; jurors convicted Claxton of first-degree murder in March 2015 and sentenced him to life without parole. Johnson’s anticipated testimony did not occur; Nico Farmer was also later convicted in the 2011 robbery case.

Does anyone have information about Johnson’s life in the Greenbriar community or about witnesses who were present that night?
