Late on January 31, 2025, officers in Jonesboro found 24-year-old Derrick Johnson of Gilmore dead from an apparent gunshot wound to the face in a parking lot at 111 Daybreak Drive. His gray Charger was on scene with a large amount of blood in the driver’s area and two shell casings in the front passenger seat, indicating the violent encounter likely occurred inside the car.

Investigators say Johnson had been driving with two other men, 24-year-old Terry Wofford and 26-year-old Christopher Daveon Smith; the three left a Henry Street residence around 8 p.m. and surveillance shows the vehicle arriving at the Daybreak Drive lot at 9:44 p.m. Wofford was later seen running into his mother’s apartment at 9:45 p.m. Smith was identified as the man in a white hoodie on the passenger side and ultimately turned himself in in Paducah, Kentucky.

Both Wofford and Smith were arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Smith told investigators that Wofford shot Johnson twice after they parked, while Wofford declined to be interviewed without a lawyer; bonds were set at $2.5 million for Wofford and $1 million for Smith, with GPS ankle monitors ordered as conditions of release.

Did anyone in the Jonesboro area see the Charger or the three men that night who can add details about their movements?
