Stacey Johnson, 48, was shot and killed outside a neighbor’s house in Saginaw, Michigan, in the early hours of October 9, 2020. She had recently moved to a new neighborhood on Delaware Street after her prior home was condemned and was found lying in a pool of blood beneath a window outside a neighbor’s property. Her emotional support dog, Mya, was found unharmed at her residence.

Neighbor Calvin Joshua Jr. admitted to shooting Johnson, saying he was awakened at about 2:20 a.m. by what he believed was an attempted break-in and that he fired a rifle in self-defense under Michigan’s Castle Doctrine. Johnson’s parents suggested she may have been disoriented in the unfamiliar neighborhood. Joshua eventually pleaded no contest to manslaughter and a felony firearm charge and received a sentence that included a minimum of eight years for manslaughter plus a consecutive two-year term for the firearm count. During hearings Johnson’s mother criticized Joshua for not immediately calling police or emergency services and for leaving the scene to buy a cigar after the shooting.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see Johnson that night or know if she appeared disoriented after moving in?
