Dequan Johnson was 20 when he was found dead on February 16, 2021, in Montgomery, Alabama. Police and fire medics responded to a call on the 3700 block of Mobile Highway and discovered Johnson inside a vehicle that had crashed into a hotel; he had suffered a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators determined the shooting occurred at a different location and that Johnson had driven some distance before the crash.

The Montgomery Police Department opened a homicide investigation and later identified suspects who were announced to be facing capital murder charges. The motive and many case details, including the suspects’ identities and the progress of any trial, have not been widely released.

If anyone knew Dequan or has information about where the shooting began, please share what can help the investigation.
