Arthur Johnson was 37 and was shot dead at a Phoenix home near 11th Avenue and Buckeye Road on the afternoon of December 29, 2020. Police were called about a family fight and arrived about 3:30 p.m.; Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene. Local coverage described the incident as a domestic or family disturbance that escalated into gunfire rather than a random attack.

Officers reported a woman involved in the shooting remained at the scene, spoke with them, and cooperated as they documented the scene. Detectives said the case would be submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review; the initial reports do not describe an on-scene arrest and public follow-up listings do not show an indictment, trial, or conviction, leaving the legal outcome unclear. Memorial and homicide-tracking sites list Johnson among victims of gun violence in Phoenix and continue to seek tips.

If anyone knew Arthur or has information about what happened that afternoon, please share what you know with investigators.
