In the spring of 2014 a dispute over a drug transaction in a Colorado Springs bar parking lot ended in gunfire and the death of 38-year-old David James Johnson. On the evening of May 6 he was shot inside a black Lincoln Town Car outside Savannah’s Bar & Grill on East Bijou Street and was found dead when police arrived; his death was ruled a homicide.

Another man, 37-year-old Javar Harrison, was critically injured with multiple gunshot wounds but survived. Harrison told investigators he had arranged a meeting at the lot between Johnson and 31-year-old Jason Romeo Forbes for the sale of two pounds of marijuana. Harrison said he got into the driver’s seat, the price discussion turned heated, Johnson told Forbes If you don’t want it, don’t take it, and Forbes then opened fire. Harrison said he rolled from the vehicle, and Forbes allegedly shot him twice in the back before fleeing; a white sedan with chrome rims was seen leaving the area.

On the evening of May 8 Jason Romeo Forbes was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Johnson’s death. If anyone knew Johnson, Harrison, or saw the vehicles or activity in that parking lot that night, please share what you know.
