How they died
Deadly force
Kevin Alton Johnson's wife called 911 shortly before 3 a.m. and said her husband had tried to choke her. Officer David Johnson (no relation to Kevin Johnson) arrived and learned that the couple's 17-year-old son was inside the house and that Kevin Johnson was intoxicated. David Johnson said he entered the home with his gun drawn and found Kevin Johnson standing over the teen, grabbing at his throat and yelling at him. Kevin Johnson allegedly advanced at the officer in a threatening manner, though the officer saw he had nothing in his hands. The officer reached for his Taser, but said Kevin Johnson was moving too quickly, so he shot him three times, killing him.
