Reports indicate Johnson was standing at the corner of Lasageese Road and El Penco Street, Gasparillo Road, Upper Santa Cruz – when an unknown car drove up and stopped as the occupants opened fire on him.

A close male relative rushed the conscious man to the Eric Williams Medical Science’s Complex, Mt Hope – where he was treated but succumbed to his injuries around 4:31 pm.
