On June 8, 2020, 61-year-old Larry Johnson made a frantic 911 call from his Hot Springs workshop saying he had been shot. Dispatchers heard multiple gunshots, a pause consistent with reloading, and then more shots; the call captured Johnson’s final moments. Responding officers found 23 shell casings and Johnson had been shot 19 times. A .22-caliber rifle was recovered hidden beneath a nearby vehicle and a 46-year-old man, Calvin Tyrone Davis, was taken into custody at the scene.

Prosecutors say the killing was part of a murder-for-hire scheme tied to a bitter divorce. They allege 55-year-old Martha Johnson arranged the killing and that phone records placed Davis at her home at least 17 times before the murder. Davis later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and, according to the prosecution, agreed to testify against Martha Johnson; prosecutors say Davis claimed he was promised Martha’s house and a minivan in exchange for the killing. Martha Johnson was arrested and held on a $1 million bond for first-degree murder and a felony firearm enhancement.

Does anyone have information about communications or visits linking the parties before June 8, 2020?
