On January 20, 2020, Demarco Armstrong, 31, and his cousin Allen Armstrong were found fatally shot inside a black Chevrolet Impala that had crashed into a chain-link fence at Waltham and Eastwood on Detroit’s east side. Demarco was in the driver’s seat and Allen in the passenger seat; both were pronounced dead at the scene by Detroit EMS. What was first reported as a vehicle accident was later determined to be a double homicide.

Investigators pursued leads that led to the arrest of 24-year-old Oscar Johnson of Harper Woods. U.S. Marshals captured Johnson in Lexington, Kentucky, and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged him with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, three counts of felony firearm, and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Reports note Johnson was on probation for drug-related offenses and had a prior criminal record at the time of the killings.
