Shawn Johnson, 36, was shot and killed in Detroit in 2009 after a dispute outside the Asian Fish Market. The confrontation began after Johnson urinated outside the business and escalated when the market’s owner, Leroy Moon, became involved; Moon fatally shot Johnson.

Moon was arrested and tried twice for murder; both trials ended without a verdict. In 2011 he pleaded no contest to manslaughter under a deal that called for a one-year jail term. The sentencing was not carried out for several years, during which Moon remained free on bond. The Detroit News later reported that the prosecutor’s office had lost track of the case and that Moon had health issues complicating matters.

In January 2018, seven years after the plea, a judge ordered Moon, then 78, to serve the agreed one-year sentence with possible work release and imposed probation. Did anyone who knew Shawn or saw the area around the Asian Fish Market in 2009 notice anything that could shed light on what happened that day?
