On November 5, 2024, Lamont Johnson, 51, of Lansing, Illinois, was fatally shot inside an administrative office in the employee-only loading docks at Navy Pier in Chicago. The shooting also killed Peter Jennings, 47, of Chicago; both men were shot in the head and later died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

Authorities say the attack was carried out by a disgruntled former employee of Levy, who had been fired on October 14, 2024, and used prior access to the restricted area to enter the pier. The suspect, identified as Raylon East, 36, of Chicago, was arrested on November 9, 2024, and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon in possession of a felon. Johnson had worked at Navy Pier for over 20 years and is survived by three daughters and a son; family described him as caring and supportive, who helped look after his children and his mother.

Does anyone have information about Johnson’s work at Navy Pier or his interactions there that could help explain what happened?
