Johnny Johnson, 64, was found with a gunshot wound to the neck inside a vehicle in San Antonio on March 4, 2025. Officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 6800 block of Pecan Valley Drive; Johnson was found in the backseat, taken to hospital and later died. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

An arrest affidavit says Johnson and a witness were driving to pick up Nathan Franklin, 57, and his son. Stopped at a red light, Johnson asked to stop at a store; the witness then heard a single shot and saw Franklin holding a firearm. A struggle over the gun caused the magazine to fall out, and the witness fled the car. Franklin drove off, leaving Johnson inside. Franklin later gave his location to his stepson; the stepson found the vehicle and Johnson and called authorities.

Investigators recovered a spent casing and a gun magazine in the vehicle. Nathan Franklin was later identified by the witness and stepson, arrested and booked on a murder charge. Who has additional information about Johnson, his movements that day, or the people involved?
