Johnny Wright

How they died

Deadly force

Wright was the target of a multi-agency firearms sting. At the place and time the transaction was to happen, seller Wright pointed a weapon at the phony buyer, purportedly to rob him. Two undercover officers shot him to death; two accomplices were charged with his murder. The police listed his priors as "trespassing, disorderly conduct, possession of marijuana, possession of ecstasy, and resisting arrest."
