On the night of January 21, 2022, a burst of gunfire in a parking lot in the 3300 block of Roosevelt Road outside a Little Rock nightclub left two men dead. Jimmie Johnson, 44, and 38-year-old Andre Luckey were both struck. Police found the men with gunshot wounds; one was pronounced dead at the scene and the other died later at a hospital. Both bodies were taken to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for determination of cause and manner of death.
Jimmie Johnson is survived by his wife Patricia Johnson, daughter Elizabeth Johnson-Bowman, stepchildren Alysia, Dorothy, and Deshawn, parents Buford Wade and Callis Rhodes, and siblings Lester Rhodes III, Charlette Rhodes, and Miracle Scribner. Funeral services for Johnson were held on February 7, 2022, at Premier Funeral Home.
Little Rock police identified two suspects and arrested Paul Williams, 22, charged with two counts of first-degree murder, and Paul Brown, 46, charged with two counts of capital murder; both were held in the Pulaski County jail as the case proceeded through the legal system.
