Deunta T. Johnson, 32, was killed outside a West North Avenue business near North 35th Street in Milwaukee on February 1, 2017. According to surveillance from a nearby laundromat and witness statements, Johnson had entered a parked vehicle and was attempting to drive it away when the vehicle’s owner, Michael L. Moss, ran out of the business and fired into his own car. Johnson was struck by seven bullets and died at the scene.

Investigators used the video and witness accounts to identify Moss as the shooter. Prosecutors charged Moss with first-degree reckless homicide and noted he had a prior felony theft conviction that barred him from firearm possession. He was taken into custody and held on $20,000 bail pending further proceedings.

Was anyone in the area that day able to add detail about what led up to the vehicle entry or about the moments immediately before the shooting?
