In the early morning hours of January 28, 2022, a school bus driver found 22-year-old Kavon Iberheem Johnson unresponsive in the parking lot of Cedar Valley Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Johnson, a Black / African American male, had been fatally shot and was pronounced dead at the scene around 7:30 a.m. Investigators determined he had been targeted.

Johnson’s death was linked to another shooting one day earlier, when 19-year-old Cordal Lewis was found shot and killed in southeast Cedar Rapids on January 27, 2022. Surveillance video in the Johnson case reportedly showed a vehicle matching the description of the one he was last seen in entering Cedar Valley Park, followed by the sound of multiple gunshots. Authorities say the investigation identified a single suspect who was present when Johnson was shot and was later charged in both killings. For Johnson’s family, the loss was described as devastating.

If anyone has information about Johnson, the vehicle seen on the surveillance footage, or either incident, please come forward to investigators.
