Lonell Johnson

Lonell Johnson, a 19-year-old African American man, lost his life to homicide on August 6, 2012, in St. Louis, Missouri. His death was recorded by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department as part of an investigation into a fatal incident at 5476 Genevieve Avenue, in the northern part of the city. The case was assigned police incident number 12040319, documenting a violent death that would remain unresolved in the department's publicly available homicide records.

The publicly available police information identifies Genevieve Avenue as the location associated with Johnson's killing, but few details about the circumstances have been released. The records do not establish what led to the fatal encounter, whether Johnson was specifically targeted, or whether witnesses were able to identify the person responsible. The exact sequence of events, the weapon involved, and a possible motive could not be independently verified through available reporting.

The investigation remained classified as open in a homicide database compiled from St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department records and published by APM Reports. An open classification indicates that investigators had not officially cleared the case at the time reflected in those records. No reliable public information could be located identifying a suspect or confirming an arrest, criminal charges, trial, guilty plea, or conviction directly connected to Johnson's death. The available information also does not establish whether investigators developed significant leads that were never publicly disclosed.

More than fourteen years after Johnson's death, the publicly documented circumstances remain limited. The absence of a reported arrest or conviction leaves important questions unanswered about who was responsible and why his life was taken. Although the current investigative status could not be independently confirmed, the available homicide records leave his killing without a documented resolution, underscoring the continuing need for information that could establish what happened on Genevieve Avenue that day.
