On February 1, 1992, in Richmond, Virginia, Dorothy Armstrong was fatally shot inside her brother’s home during a targeted act of violence. Johnson shot and killed Long, Armstrong, and a male acquaintance, Anthony Carter; neither Armstrong nor Carter were involved in the drug trade that prompted the attack.

The triple killing was one episode in a 45-day wave of violence attributed to Johnson and his gang, during which seven people were killed as the group sought to eliminate rivals and consolidate control of the local cocaine market. The investigation into those slayings led to prosecutions that, according to the record, ultimately dismantled the gang.

Does anyone have memories of Dorothy Armstrong or information about her life in Richmond that could add context to her story?
