Mark Johnson, 55, was shot dead on March 1, 2022, on the south side of Dawson Park in the Eliot neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Officers were dispatched at 12:04 p.m.; the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s autopsy determined the death was a homicide from a gunshot wound. Johnson was identified as Black/African American and his family released photographs while asking for privacy.

Portland Police Homicide investigators focused on Joseph Kelly Banks. Banks had been arrested on March 2, 2022, in connection with two non-fatal shootings on February 28, 2022, and on March 8, 2022, detectives charged him with Murder in the Second Degree in Johnson’s death. A wrongful death lawsuit was later filed alleging negligence by the U.S. Probation Office in its supervision of Banks prior to the shooting.

Are there witnesses who were in Dawson Park around midday on March 1, 2022, or anyone with information about Banks’s movements that day?
