A summer block party in the 200 block of Melba Street in Longview ended in gunfire on the evening of June 7, 2025. Officers arrived about 9:18 p.m. to find 31-year-old Longview resident Isaiah Ross gravely wounded. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of multiple gunshot wounds, including a wound to the head.

Witnesses told investigators a man walked up behind Ross, fired multiple times, and continued shooting after Ross fell. Detectives named Dominique Devine Johnson as a suspect, and working with Kilgore police they located and arrested him in Kilgore after obtaining a murder warrant. Johnson was booked into the Gregg County Jail on a murder charge with bond set at $1,000,000. Police say the investigation remains active and have asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone attended the gathering or has information about what happened on Melba Street that night, please report what you know to the investigators handling the case.
