A dispute over a bicycle in Jackson, Mississippi, ended with the fatal shooting of 14-year-old Rodrick Johnson on the evening of April 21, 2019. Johnson was with a group of young people when an argument about a bike in a local resident’s yard escalated into gunfire; he was struck by a bullet and died of his injuries. Friends and family remembered him as a good kid who liked football and basketball, and a vigil was held in his memory.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of 41-year-old Stacy Liddell, who was charged with murder. Liddell claimed he fired in self-defense at trial, but a jury convicted him of second-degree murder and imposed a 30-year prison sentence; an appeal was denied.

Does anyone who knew Rodrick or who was in that neighborhood that night have information that could add context to what happened?
