On the morning of July 7, 2015, Chad Taylor Johnson, 32, was shot and killed in a dispute over property in the parking lot of Graves Memorial Baptist Church in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The confrontation occurred about 6:25 a.m. and involved 53-year-old John Eric Schmidt, who fatally shot Johnson during the altercation.

Schmidt, who had emergency medical technician training, attempted to render aid after the shooting, but Johnson died en route to the hospital. Schmidt was treated for injuries he sustained during the incident. Pulaski County sheriff’s deputies characterized the episode as arising from a property dispute and not connected to the church’s activities.

Schmidt was initially arrested and charged with second-degree murder; those charges were later dropped in January of the following year after authorities determined he had acted in self-defense, with Schmidt’s attorney saying Johnson had choked Schmidt during the struggle. Does anyone have additional details about the property dispute or witnesses to the July 7 confrontation?
