Carnell Mark Johnson Jr., a 23-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on the evening of October 24, 2024, inside a townhome in New Hope, Minnesota. First responders found him unconscious with a gunshot wound to the center of his chest in a residence on the 7300 block of Bass Lake Road. He was taken to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale and was pronounced dead at 10:11 p.m.

New Hope police, assisted by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, opened a homicide investigation. Authorities said the shooting appeared not to be random and that Johnson likely knew the shooter, who had left before officers arrived. A woman in the home first told police an unknown intruder shot Johnson on the couch but later, after being shown surveillance footage, said she had lied. She then said the suspect and two others had been at the home earlier that day drinking and using drugs, and that she and the suspect held Johnson after he was shot while she called 911.

Who has information about Johnson, the people inside that home that evening, or the events leading up to the shooting?
