Pasion Pleasant, 32, was found dead along Interstate 295 near East Capitol Street NE in Washington, D.C., on February 5, 2022. Initial observations at the scene suggested multiple stab wounds, but a later examination determined the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds. Several passersby stopped after believing they had witnessed a car accident; one witness who was an EMT reported seeing a man on top of Pleasant and noted stab wounds while that man shouted at people trying to help.

Police arrested 30-year-old Gregory Johnson at the scene as he allegedly attempted to re-enter a vehicle to flee. Authorities described the incident as domestic; Johnson had been in a relationship with Pleasant for a few years. A GPS tracking bracelet placed him near Pleasant’s home shortly before the death, and he told investigators he suffered a psychological breakdown and admitted to a physical altercation inside their car. Johnson was charged with second-degree murder while armed and later entered a plea agreement. Pleasant was a mother of six and remembered by family as a powerhouse of a mother who raised her children largely on her own.

Did anyone see Pasion on February 5, 2022, or have information about her final movements or the relationship with Gregory Johnson?
