Derek Ferrone Johnson, 44, was shot near Flint’s downtown bus terminal on the evening of August 4, 2015. He was taken to Hurley Medical Center and died of his injuries. Johnson, known as Fee, had served in the U.S. Army and was deployed to Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm. After his discharge he worked as a truck driver for Swift Trucking Company and was remembered by family as outgoing, helpful, and fond of cooking, reading, history and politics.

The shooting prompted an investigation and a suspect was arrested; reporting and memorials noted a charge had been filed but give few details about any trial or conviction. Johnson is survived by a lifelong companion, children, step-children, parents, siblings and many friends who mourn his loss.

If anyone knew Derek, his routines around downtown Flint, or has information about the shooting, please share what can help the investigation.
