In the late summer of 2014 a confrontation in a quiet Chandler, Arizona neighborhood ended with the death of 59-year-old Donald Richard Johnson. On the morning of August 8 a team of bail recovery agents, commonly known as bounty hunters, went to a residence near McQueen and Pecos roads intending to apprehend a woman who had a warrant. An altercation between the agents and Johnson occurred and at least one bail recovery agent fired a weapon. Johnson was struck and pronounced dead at the scene.

Initial statements relayed that the agents said Johnson became aggressive and the shooting followed the escalation. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation to determine the legality of the force used; the agents’ names were not immediately released.

What does anyone who lived in that neighborhood or knew Johnson remember from that August morning?
