Ashli Koren Johnson, a 29-year-old Black mother of four, was killed in the early hours of June 3, 2020, in Saint Paul’s Riverview neighborhood. Police found her inside her car near Hall Avenue and West Stevens Street after responding to reports of gunfire around 3 a.m.; she had apparent gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say she was traveling east when the shooting occurred and her vehicle subsequently struck several other cars. The city declared the incident its 15th homicide of the year.

Family members described Johnson as strong, fun-loving, caring, a helper and a healer who worked to make sure her children felt happy and loved. They say they do not know why she was on the West Side that morning. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing. Is there anyone who knew Ashli or who was in the Riverview area that night who can share what they remember?
