Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Cortez Johnson was fatally shot on March 15, 2026, at a gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Mobile, Alabama. Authorities describe the incident as a robbery that escalated to murder. Johnson, a junior at Mattie T. Blount High School and member of the track and field team, was driving a stolen 2016 Ford Fusion with five others inside when the group stopped at the convenience store.

Surveillance footage reportedly shows the group arriving and a front-seat passenger entering the store. After returning to the vehicle that passenger opened fire, striking Johnson. He was taken to a hospital and died; the District Attorney’s office says Johnson was not armed. In the days after the shooting two suspects were brought in by their parents and arrested: 20-year-old Jonathan Lee Robinson and a 16-year-old male, both charged with felony murder and pleading not guilty. Robinson was denied bond; the 16-year-old was given $350,000 bond.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office says three other juveniles who were in the car have been identified and will face felony murder charges. Surveillance video from the gas station is reported to have captured the moments leading up to and including the shooting. Does anyone have information about the group’s movements before they arrived at the gas station?
