Zakkary Sebastian Johnson, 24, was shot and killed on February 3, 2023, in Jesup, Georgia. Known as Zak, he was born March 30, 1998, in Rochester Hills, Michigan, and had lived most of his life in Jesup. He worked in construction, building houses and roofing, and enjoyed woodworking and wood-burning. He is survived by a son.

The shooting happened at a shed on Community Circle. An argument between Brown and Johnson escalated into a physical fight, which ended, but the verbal dispute continued. Brown then pulled out a handgun and shot Johnson in the chest, a wound that proved fatal. Brown fled the scene and was arrested by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office four days later; during questioning he admitted to the shooting and said he acted in self-defense.
