On the evening of February 22, 2023, 37-year-old Timothy McCree Johnson, a Black man, was shot and killed by a police officer in a wooded area near Tysons Corner Center in Vienna, Virginia. The encounter began when Johnson was suspected of stealing sunglasses from the Nordstrom department store and an anti-theft alarm activated as he left. Officers pursued him on foot through a parking garage and into nearby woods.

Body camera audio captured an officer shouting get on the ground and another saying Stop reaching before two officers fired. Sergeant Wesley Shifflett fired the shot that struck Johnson in the chest; Johnson was unarmed and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Chief Kevin Davis fired Shifflett in March 2023. A grand jury initially declined to indict in April 2023, and later actions were taken by the Commonwealth’s Attorney seeking further review.

Does anyone have information about Johnson’s movements that evening or saw the chase near the mall?
