Daron Johnson was a 14-year-old boy killed by a stray bullet at a Lions Club birthday party in Lawrence, just outside Indianapolis, in June 2018. Described as shy and music-loving, he had just finished seventh grade at Belzer Middle School and was attending the party for the first time with his mother’s permission when a fight between two individuals escalated into gunfire. Daron was struck in the head; four other youths, ages 11 to 14, were also injured but less severely.

Paramedics took him to a children’s hospital where he was later declared brain-dead and removed from life support. Lawrence police arrested one 14-year-old and said they believed at least one other shooter was involved, urging the community for information.

If anyone remembers the party or has information about who fired the shots, please come forward.
