Kenneth K. Johnson Jr., a 19-year-old African American man, was found shot to death on November 6, 2016, in East Austin. His body was discovered in the 7400 block of Geneva Drive; despite attempts to revive him he was pronounced dead at the scene and the Travis County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from gunshot wounds.

Police say Johnson had gone to meet 34-year-old Andre Pelon Jackson to handle some business and that Jackson shot him, then dumped the body in East Austin. Surveillance footage and witness statements were cited in linking Jackson to the crime. Two other men, 27-year-old Dequincy Lewis Fields and 33-year-old Maurice Andre Taylor, were also charged with first-degree murder, and the investigation indicated Johnson was involved in a drug transaction and that the suspects had connections to him.

Anyone who knew Kenneth, his movements that day, or who has information about the meeting on Geneva Drive is asked to come forward.
