Deon Johnson, 36, was fatally shot on April 16, 2014, in the parking lot of the North YMCA at 1640 Sandalwood Place in Columbus, Ohio. Police were called about 4:00 PM and found Johnson inside his vehicle with a fatal gunshot wound. Witnesses said three or four male suspects fled in a grey or beige early 2000s Chevy Impala after an argument in the lot.

Officials confirmed the shooting was not connected to the YMCA, but its proximity alarmed children and parents; staff locked down the building immediately after the shots. The Columbus Police Department described the killing as the city’s 23rd homicide of 2014 and said the investigation was ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Columbus homicide unit or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers. Would anyone who was at the YMCA that afternoon or who saw a matching Impala come forward with tips?
