Malcom Johnson Jr was a 22-year-old Black man killed in an ambush robbery in North Miami Beach in the early morning of May 30, 2023. The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. near Northwest 170th Street and Northwest 3rd Avenue. Surveillance video captured Johnson walking alone when a dark-colored car pulled up, two men exited and confronted him, and a struggle over a gold necklace ended with shots fired and Johnson collapsing in the street. The two men then fled in the car.

Investigators relied on the surveillance footage and later identified one of the suspects as Marcuss Ealy after his brother, a Georgia police officer, recognized him as the shooter in the video. Detectives also recovered selfies taken hours after the killing that showed a man posing with the stolen gold medallion. Both Marcuss Ealy and Mario Fogler were arrested and charged in connection with the murder.

If anyone witnessed the shooting near Northwest 170th Street and Northwest 3rd Avenue that morning or has information about the suspects or the stolen necklace, please come forward.
