Sam Johnson was 53 and from Houston when he was killed on October 16, 2017. He was an innocent bystander walking in the 6800 block of London Street in southeast Houston when he was fatally shot during a drive-by as part of a larger crime spree that included a carjacking and multiple shootings.

Authorities say the shooting was carried out by members of the 103 gang who were targeting rival Young Scott Block members. Deandre Watson, 24, was identified as the shooter who fired at least 27 rounds from an AR-15. Multiple arrests followed; Watson and other suspects including Metroy Harris and Marcus Christopher were charged in connection with the slayings and the organized crime activity tied to the incident.

The case was handled by the Houston Police Department and prosecuted by the Organized Crime and Gangs Division of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. Does anyone have information about Johnson’s life in the neighborhood or witnessed that October 16 incident?
