Michael A. Johnson was 34 when he was fatally shot during a home recording session in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday, June 10, 2010. Around 3:00 a.m., two unidentified men forced their way into a modest house at 1217 Hillside Avenue in Nashville and opened fire inside a homemade recording booth. Johnson suffered a fatal gunshot wound; a second man in the room was wounded and survived, while a third person escaped without injury.

The attackers were described only as two Black men and fled the scene. The Nashville Metropolitan Police Department investigated, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. The motive for the home invasion and shooting is unknown.

If anyone was in or near that neighborhood that night, or has information about the two men who entered the house, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
