Deborah Johnson, a 47-year-old Black woman from Newark, New Jersey, was found dead on December 12, 2014, inside an abandoned house in the city’s West Ward. Officers and emergency personnel discovered her unconscious and unresponsive in a vacant building on the 100 block of South 10th Street early that morning; she had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office handled the matter as a homicide. Spokespersons said no arrests had been made and no suspects identified, and the case remains listed among unresolved violent deaths.

Anyone with information about Deborah Johnson, her movements before December 12, 2014, or the vacant house on South 10th Street is asked to come forward.
