On the morning of May 28, 2014, Aaron Johnson was shot on the 1300 block of Frazier Street in West Philadelphia at about 11:45 a.m. He sustained two gunshot wounds; one entered his back, struck his left lung and aorta, and proved fatal. His death was ruled a homicide.

Witnesses identified a man later named Braheem Owens as the shooter. After the shooting Owens jumped into a waiting Nissan Maxima driven by Lanier James and the vehicle fled the scene. Police pursued the car; both men abandoned it a few blocks away and tried to run. Officers quickly apprehended them, and James was found with a firearm that matched six cartridge casings recovered at the scene.

A jury trial began May 19, 2015. Owens testified and denied knowing Johnson. The jury acquitted James of first-degree murder and conspiracy but convicted him of carrying a firearm without a license, carrying a firearm in a public place in Philadelphia, possession of an instrument of a crime, and fleeing or attempting to elude police; he received six to twelve years plus seven years probation. Does anyone have information about Johnson’s final movements that morning or saw him on Frazier Street that day?
