David Alan Johnson, 23, of Red Lake, Minnesota, was shot and killed on August 12, 2019, on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. According to reports, he was confronted by multiple people who accused him of stealing a vehicle and drugs; the confrontation escalated and Johnson was shot in the chest. Another person was wounded in the same attack.

Several suspects were arrested in connection with the killing. Alexia Gah Gi Gay Mary Cutbank, 21, of Bemidji, admitted she tracked Johnson down and shot him and pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree murder and assault. Three others were implicated: Daniel Charles Barrett, 32, of Redby; Mia Faye Sumner, 22, of Duluth; and Rose Celeste Siewert, 50, of Cass Lake. The case was prosecuted in U.S. District Court in St. Paul because the shooting occurred on tribal land.

Sentence reports named Cutbank’s 20-year term; Sumner received 10 years, Siewert four years, and Barrett was awaiting sentencing in the reports. Did anyone in the community have information about Johnson’s movements or the confrontation that night?
