On the evening of June 21, 2024, Bernadette Tasheena Ann Johnson, 42, was shot and killed in her vehicle near the intersection of Prospect Avenue and North Washington Street in Helena, Montana. The attack took place about 9:30 p.m. when another car blocked her path and the other driver, later identified as Kenneth William Greene, exited his vehicle and fired into Johnson’s SUV. She was taken to St. Peter’s Health and pronounced dead shortly after 10:00 p.m. from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Witnesses described the shooter and events at the scene, which led to Greene being identified as the primary suspect. He was located and arrested the next morning at Morrison Park, and a handgun was recovered. Court records described a history of prior violent convictions and say Greene had allegedly expressed intentions to harm Johnson beforehand. The vehicle involved was registered to both Greene and Johnson. Sentencing for Greene is pending.
