On the afternoon of Saturday, March 30, 2019, Tavarus Jamal Johnson, 26, was shot in the 1200 block of Longbrook Drive in Bessemer, Alabama. Police arrived to find him with gunshot wounds; he was taken to UAB Hospital in Birmingham and pronounced dead at 3:03 p.m. from his injuries. His death was one of several homicides in the Birmingham area that year.

The Bessemer Police Department quickly pursued leads after the shooting. An off-duty officer spotted and detained two people believed to be connected to the incident a short distance away. Authorities charged 22-year-old Nykeil Deshawn Brown of Bessemer with murder and held him on $100,000 bond. In May 2019, 19-year-old Quindarrius Antonio Brown was also charged with murder in the same case, and the matter was proceeding through the legal system.

Does anyone who knew Tavarus or was in the Longbrook Drive area that afternoon have information that could help clarify what happened?
