Pierre Johnson was 21 when he was found fatally shot on Paramont Avenue in Portsmouth, Virginia, in late April 2014. Officers arrived about 3 p.m. after multiple gunshots were reported; a witness described coming around a corner to see a man lying in the street.

A search warrant affidavit detailed a brutal sequence before the shooting: Johnson had been duct-taped to a chair, beaten, and burned with a hot iron. The affidavit said the torture and killing were carried out at the behest of a gang member. Police identified a suspect and, after a foot pursuit, took 22-year-old Devontae McKiver into custody; he was charged in connection with Johnson’s death and later convicted.

Does anyone have information about Johnson’s life in Portsmouth or memories of that neighborhood in 2014?
