Gary Jr. Johnson, a 25-year-old from Columbus, Ohio, was fatally shot on April 22, 2015. His death remains unsolved and is one of many unresolved homicides in Columbus, where a pattern of cases with no arrests has left families waiting for answers.

The Columbus Police Department continues to seek information in Johnson’s case. The broader context noted in reporting includes a high number of unsolved murders in the city, widespread community mistrust of police, a ‘‘no snitching’’ street code, and areas described as ‘‘no arrest deserts’’ where clusters of unsolved killings have occurred. Reports also highlight that Black victims have been overrepresented among Columbus homicide victims since 2017.

Anyone with information about what happened to Gary Jr. Johnson on April 22, 2015 is asked to come forward to help bring his family closure.
