A dispute among relatives over light switches in late spring 2025 ended in gunfire and the death of 34-year-old Brandon Matthew Johnson of Augusta, Georgia. The shooting occurred Sunday, May 25, 2025, on Madrid Drive; Johnson was taken to Doctors Hospital of Augusta with a single gunshot wound and died there on Friday, May 30, 2025, from that injury. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation and a relative of Johnson was arrested in connection with the fatal shooting, underscoring the domestic nature of the argument that set the events in motion.

Johnson was born February 25, 1991, graduated from Glenn Hills High School and attended Augusta State University. He is remembered by family and friends for his kind heart and willingness to help others. Does anyone who knew Brandon or who was in the Madrid Drive area that day have information that could help clarify what happened?
