On May 6, 2009, Johanna Emilie Justin-Jinich, a 21-year-old junior at Wesleyan University who studied public health and wrote poetry, was shot and killed while working a shift at the Red and Black Café inside Broad Street Books near the Middletown campus. A man who entered the bookstore disguised in a wig and glasses approached Johanna and shot her seven times before fleeing the scene, leaving witnesses and the campus in shock.

Investigators linked the attacker to prior harassment. Johanna and the man, later identified as Stephen Morgan, had met in 2007 at a class at New York University; she filed a harassment complaint over unwanted calls and emails and emailed him in December 2008 saying she was tired of being stalked. Police recovered Morgan’s journal after the shooting, which contained entries about a desire to kill Johanna and plans for a wider attack; a campus-wide lockdown and manhunt followed.

Stephen Morgan surrendered to police in Meriden on May 7 after seeing his photo in a newspaper and was charged with murder, intimidation due to bias, and carrying a pistol without a permit. His defense later raised severe mental illness; a forensic psychologist testified to paranoid schizophrenia and delusional thinking. What information might someone who knew Johanna or observed suspicious behavior around the campus in spring 2009 still be able to share?
